Hi,


Please provide some description about the “IBasePortionFormat” methods listed below:

1. getEastAsianFont
2. getLatinFont
3. getComplexScriptFont
4. getSymbolFont

Please answer following questions:
1. What do these method return?
2. How are they different from each other?


Thanks

Hi Paraneeth,


I am sorry for your inconvenience. Actually, the slide portion can have text in normal Latin or plain, east Asian language, a complex script or in the form of symbol. So, depending on the type of text in the portion the respective font type is set. If East Asian text is used in portion, you will look for font in getEastAsianFont() method and so on. In fact, you can check all the specified methods and discard ones which return null and keep those returning valid font values. I hope this will clarify the concept.

Many Thanks,

Hi,


We are running following code to get the fonts used by each portion of presentation.

public void getFontsForEachPortion(Presentation ppt){

ITextFrame[] textFramesPPTX = SlideUtil.getAllTextFrames(ppt, true);
  
    //Loop through the Array of TextFrames

     for (int i = 0; i < textFramesPPTX.length; i++)

<span class="code-comment">//Loop through paragraphs in current ITextFrame



     for(IParagraph para : textFramesPPTX[i].getParagraphs())


<span class="code-comment">//Loop through portions in the current IParagraph



    for(IPortion port : para.getPortions())

{

//Display text in the current portion

        System.out.print(port.getText());


    <span class="code-comment">//Display font name of the text



        if (port.getPortionFormat().getLatinFont() != null)

System.out.print(port.getPortionFormat().getLatinFont().getFontName());
       
        //Display font name of the text

        if (port.getPortionFormat().getComplexScriptFont() != null)

System.out.print(port.getPortionFormat().getComplexScriptFont().getFontName());


       
        //Display font name of the text

        if (port.getPortionFormat().getEastAsianFont() != null)

System.out.print(port.getPortionFormat().getEastAsianFont().getFontName()); 

        //Display font name of the text

        if (port.getPortionFormat().getSymbolFont() != null)

System.out.print(port.getPortionFormat().getSymbolFont().getFontName());}

}


The above code does not print the font name for those portions which used Calibri font. I am getting the portion text but not getting font name. In fact, it works for other fonts used in presentation like Arial.

Please help us in resolving this issue.

The sample presentation is attached with this post. Please find the attachment.

NOTE: We are running code at linux machine (Oracle linux 5 (Intel 64-bit)) and using Aspose.Slides 15.1.0-java.

Thanks

Hi,



For your information, the issue related to issue ID SLIDESJAVA-34756 is not only restricted to Calibri font.
I am seeing it with other fonts as well like HYHeadLine-Medium.

Please find the attached presentation which can be used for further investigation.

For many portions, I am getting portion text but all of following methods return null for those portions.


1. getEastAsianFont
2. getLatinFont
3. getComplexScriptFont
4. getSymbolFont




Thanks
Praneeth
