Font for ChartLegend

[rokaf]

Well, the problem is that it says "Blackadder ITC", but in fact it's not.(NotBlackaddder.jpg)
If you know "Blackadder ITC", It looks like this: (TotallyBlackaddder.jpg)

Hello,

Sorry that I'm not clear about your intention. I found that the font of the chart legend in "test.pptx" is "Blackadder ITC" rather than Calibri. And what indeed did you do? Get the font and font style and then reset the font? I tried that yet didn't encounter any issue. Please share the entire code and point out the issue.
Below is my testing code.

Code: Select all

Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile(diag.FileName);
IChart Chart = null;
foreach (Shape shp in ppt.Slides[0].Shapes)
{
    if (shp is IChart)
    {
        Chart = shp as IChart;
    }
}
var textParagraph = Chart.ChartLegend.TextProperties.Paragraphs[0];
Font font = GetFont(textParagraph);
FontStyle fStyle = GetFontStyle(textParagraph.DefaultCharacterProperties);
textParagraph.DefaultCharacterProperties.LatinFont = new TextFont("Arial Unicode MS");
ppt.SaveToFile("123.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);

Hello,

In fact, the font of each legend entry is still the default font. You could check that by clicking on a certain entry.

After an in-depth investigation, we found that the previous method for changing the legend font has some problem. I indeed reproduced the issue you mentioned using that code.
Now, please use the following correct code to set the font instead.

Code: Select all

foreach(TextCharacterProperties entrypry in Chart.ChartLegend.EntryTextProperties)
{
    entrypry.LatinFont = new TextFont("Blackadder ITC");
}


And this code to get the font.

Code: Select all

foreach(TextCharacterProperties entrypry in Chart.ChartLegend.EntryTextProperties)
{
    var font = entrypry.LatinFont;
}

BTW, still need to mention that the default font would return null. Please set a certain font first and then get it.
So sorry for the inconvenience caused.
