GetFontFamily

Returns the font family from the current text properties. The method automatically calculates the font from the theme if the font was set via the theme.

Inherited from ApiTextPr.GetFontFamily.

Example

Retrieve the font family from text run properties.

// Create a shape with a text run and set a specific font family.

// Get and display the font name used in the text.

const presentation = Api.GetPresentation();
const slide = presentation.GetSlideByIndex(0);
slide.RemoveAllObjects();

const fill = Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(255, 111, 61));
const stroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
const shape = Api.CreateShape("flowChartMagneticTape", 300 * 36000, 130 * 36000, fill, stroke);
shape.SetPosition(608400, 1267200);

const docContent = shape.GetDocContent();
let paragraph = docContent.GetElement(0);
const run = Api.CreateRun();
run.AddText("This is just a sample text. ");
run.AddText("The text properties are changed and the style is added to the paragraph. ");
run.AddLineBreak();
paragraph.AddElement(run);

const textPr = run.GetTextPr();
textPr.SetFontFamily("Arial");
slide.AddObject(shape);

paragraph = Api.CreateParagraph();
const fontFamily = textPr.GetFontFamily();
paragraph.AddText("Font family: " + fontFamily);
docContent.Push(paragraph);
