Font Settings Default Instance

In this tutorial, we will walk you through how to configure default font settings in a Word document using the Aspose.Words library for .NET. Default font settings allow you to specify the font sources used when loading and rendering documents. We’ll take you step-by-step to help you understand and implement the code in your .NET project.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following items:

• A working knowledge of the C# programming language
• The Aspose.Words library for .NET installed in your project

Step 1: Define the document directory

First, you need to set the directory path to the location of your Word document. Replace "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY" in the code with the appropriate path.

// Path to your documents directory
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY";

Step 2: Configure Default Font Settings

Next, we’ll create an instance of FontSettings using FontSettings.DefaultInstance, and then we’ll specify the font sources used when loading and rendering documents. In this example, we are using a system font source and a folder font source.

// Configure default font settings
FontSettings fontSettings = FontSettings.DefaultInstance;
fontSettings.SetFontsSources(new FontSourceBase[]
{
new SystemFontSource(),
new FolderFontSource("C:\\MyFonts\\", true)
});

Step 3: Upload document with font settings

Now we’ll load the document using LoadOptions and specifying the font settings to use.

// Load the document with the font settings
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.FontSettings = fontSettings;
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Rendering.docx", loadOptions);

Sample source code for Font Settings Default Instance using Aspose.Words for .NET

// Path to your document directory 
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

FontSettings fontSettings = FontSettings.DefaultInstance;
fontSettings.SetFontsSources(new FontSourceBase[]
{
	new SystemFontSource(),
	new FolderFontSource("C:\\MyFonts\\", true)
});
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.FontSettings = fontSettings;
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Rendering.docx", loadOptions);
