GetSystemFontFolders

SystemFontSource.GetSystemFontFolders method

Returns system font folders or empty array if folders are not accessible.

public static string[] GetSystemFontFolders()

Remarks

On some platforms Aspose.Words could search system fonts not only through folders but in other sources too. For example, on Windows platform Aspose.Words search fonts also in the registry.

Examples

Shows how to access a document’s system font source and set font substitutes.

Document doc = new Document();
doc.FontSettings = new FontSettings();

// By default, a blank document always contains a system font source.
Assert.AreEqual(1, doc.FontSettings.GetFontsSources().Length);

SystemFontSource systemFontSource = (SystemFontSource) doc.FontSettings.GetFontsSources()[0];
Assert.AreEqual(FontSourceType.SystemFonts, systemFontSource.Type);
Assert.AreEqual(0, systemFontSource.Priority);

PlatformID pid = Environment.OSVersion.Platform;
bool isWindows = (pid == PlatformID.Win32NT) || (pid == PlatformID.Win32S) ||
                 (pid == PlatformID.Win32Windows) || (pid == PlatformID.WinCE);
if (isWindows)
{
    const string fontsPath = @"C:\WINDOWS\Fonts";
    Assert.AreEqual(fontsPath.ToLower(),
        SystemFontSource.GetSystemFontFolders().FirstOrDefault()?.ToLower());
}

foreach (string systemFontFolder in SystemFontSource.GetSystemFontFolders())
{
    Console.WriteLine(systemFontFolder);
}

// Set a font that exists in the Windows Fonts directory as a substitute for one that does not.
doc.FontSettings.SubstitutionSettings.FontInfoSubstitution.Enabled = true;
doc.FontSettings.SubstitutionSettings.TableSubstitution.AddSubstitutes("Kreon-Regular", new[] {"Calibri"});

Assert.AreEqual(1,
    doc.FontSettings.SubstitutionSettings.TableSubstitution.GetSubstitutes("Kreon-Regular").Count());
Assert.Contains("Calibri",
    doc.FontSettings.SubstitutionSettings.TableSubstitution.GetSubstitutes("Kreon-Regular").ToArray());

// Alternatively, we could add a folder font source in which the corresponding folder contains the font.
FolderFontSource folderFontSource = new FolderFontSource(FontsDir, false);
doc.FontSettings.SetFontsSources(new FontSourceBase[] {systemFontSource, folderFontSource});
Assert.AreEqual(2, doc.FontSettings.GetFontsSources().Length);

// Resetting the font sources still leaves us with the system font source as well as our substitutes.
doc.FontSettings.ResetFontSources();

Assert.AreEqual(1, doc.FontSettings.GetFontsSources().Length);
Assert.AreEqual(FontSourceType.SystemFonts, doc.FontSettings.GetFontsSources()[0].Type);
Assert.AreEqual(1,
    doc.FontSettings.SubstitutionSettings.TableSubstitution.GetSubstitutes("Kreon-Regular").Count());
