Class Font

java.lang.Object
    extended by com.aspose.words.Font

public class Font 
extends java.lang.Object

Contains font attributes (font name, font size, color, and so on) for an object.

You do not create instances of the Font class directly. You just use Font to access the font properties of the various objects such as Run, Paragraph, Style, DocumentBuilder.

Example:

Shows how to insert a string surrounded by a border into a document.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.getFont().getBorder().setColor(Color.GREEN);
builder.getFont().getBorder().setLineWidth(2.5);
builder.getFont().getBorder().setLineStyle(LineStyle.DASH_DOT_STROKER);

builder.write("Text surrounded by green border.");

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Border.FontBorder.docx");

Example:

Shows how to add a formatted run of text to a document using the object model.
// Create an empty document. It contains one empty paragraph
Document doc = new Document();

// Create a new run of text
Run run = new Run(doc, "Hello");

// Specify character formatting for the run of text
Font f = run.getFont();
f.setName("Courier New");
f.setSize(36);
f.setHighlightColor(Color.YELLOW);

// Append the run of text to the end of the first paragraph
// in the body of the first section of the document
doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(run);

Example:

Shows how to create and use a paragraph style with list formatting.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Create a paragraph style and specify some formatting for it
Style style = doc.getStyles().add(StyleType.PARAGRAPH, "MyStyle1");
style.getFont().setSize(24);
style.getFont().setName("Verdana");
style.getParagraphFormat().setSpaceAfter(12);

// Create a list and make sure the paragraphs that use this style will use this list
style.getListFormat().setList(doc.getLists().add(ListTemplate.BULLET_DEFAULT));
style.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(0);

// Apply the paragraph style to the current paragraph in the document and add some text
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyle(style);
builder.writeln("Hello World: MyStyle1, bulleted.");

// Change to a paragraph style that has no list formatting
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyle(doc.getStyles().get("Normal"));
builder.writeln("Hello World: Normal.");

builder.getDocument().save(getArtifactsDir() + "Lists.ParagraphStyleBulleted.doc");

Property Getters/Setters Detail

getAllCaps/setAllCaps

public boolean getAllCaps() / public void setAllCaps(boolean value)
True if the font is formatted as all capital letters.

Example:

Shows how to use all capitals and small capitals character formatting properties.
// Create an empty document. It contains one empty paragraph
Document doc = new Document();

// Get the paragraph from the document, we will be adding runs of text to it
Paragraph para = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, true);

Run run = new Run(doc, "All capitals");
run.getFont().setAllCaps(true);
para.appendChild(run);

run = new Run(doc, "SMALL CAPITALS");
run.getFont().setSmallCaps(true);
para.appendChild(run);

getAutoColor

public java.awt.Color getAutoColor()
Returns the present calculated color of the text (black or white) to be used for 'auto color'. If the color is not 'auto' then returns Color.

When text has 'automatic color', the actual color of text is calculated automatically so that it is readable against the background color. As you change the background color, the text color will automatically switch to black or white in MS Word to maximize legibility.

Example:

Shows how calculated color of the text (black or white) to be used for 'auto color'.
Run run = new Run(new Document());

// Remove direct color, so it can be calculated automatically with Font.AutoColor
run.getFont().setColor(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));

// When we set black color for background, autocolor for font must be white
run.getFont().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.BLACK);
Assert.assertEquals(run.getFont().getAutoColor(), Color.WHITE);

// When we set white color for background, autocolor for font must be black
run.getFont().getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.WHITE);

When the contents of this run are displayed, all characters shall be treated as complex script characters for formatting purposes. This means that BoldBi, ItalicBi, SizeBi and a corresponding font name will be used when rendering this run.

Also, when the contents of this run are displayed, this property acts as a right-to-left override for characters which are classified as "weak types" and "neutral types".

Example:

    // This is the well known Visitor pattern. Get the model to accept a visitor
    // The model will iterate through itself by calling the corresponding methods
    // on the visitor object (this is called visiting)

    // We can run it over the entire the document like so
    doc.accept(hiddenContentRemover);

    // Or we can run it on only a specific node
    Paragraph para = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 4, true);
    para.accept(hiddenContentRemover);

    // Or over a different type of node like below
    Table table = (Table) doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true);
