Bug #: 52164
Summary: Problems with accents and master page font
Product: POI
Version: 3.8-dev
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: HSLF
AssignedTo: dev@poi.apache.org
ReportedBy: nbodi...@free.fr
Classification: Unclassified
When we create a slide with some text inside, if the font of the TextShape is
different from the "default" font (of the Master Page) then :
- all characters use the font specified in the TextShape (This is CORRECT)
BUT
- accents such as é à è ù î use the default font and it is not possible to
change it.
a) I tried to use unicode encoding like : \u00e9 instead of é but the problem
remains
b) I tried to set the value as HTML then encode é but this just displays
the é and is not working either.
c) I tried to FORCE the font of the RichText to the default font, this works
and now the strings with accent is fine on screen (with the other font) BUT
this is not usable, since the size of the TextShape changes and I have text
overlapping or gaps between text
d) I tried to change the default font of the master page with the API but it
does not seem to be possible to this.
e) Finally the only workaround which works is to test the default font and the
TextShape font and if they differ to call :
public static String removeAccents(String s)
{
if (s != null && s.length() > 0)
{
s = s.replaceAll("[èéêë]","e");
s = s.replaceAll("[ûù]","u");
s = s.replaceAll("[ïî]","i");
s = s.replaceAll("[àâ]","a");
s = s.replaceAll("Ô","o");
s = s.replaceAll("[ÈÉÊË]","E");
s = s.replaceAll("[ÛÙ]","U");
s = s.replaceAll("[ÏÎ]","I");
s = s.replaceAll("[ÀÂ]","A");
s = s.replaceAll("Ô","O");
}
return s;
}
and all accents are gone ... The text is correctly displayed but the end users
will complain for missing accents... Until a fix for this issue.
***
Code example found over the internet :assuming test.ppt is using Arial as
default font and we have some text box using times new roman.
HSLFSlideShow hslfsh = new HSLFSlideShow("template/test.ppt"); SlideShow ppt =
new SlideShow(hslfsh);
Slide slide[] = ppt.getSlides();
for(int i = 0 ; i < slide.length ; i++) { Slide curSlide = slide[i]; Shape sh[]
= curSlide.getShapes();
for(int j = 0; j < sh.length ; j++ ) { Shape curSh = sh[j];
TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.setAnchor(curSh.getAnchor());
tb.setText("Helloworld é è ë ê à ö ï î ô ü û");
TextBox shape = (TextBox)curSh;
RichTextRun rt = shape.getTextRun().getRichTextRuns()[0]; RichTextRun newRt =
tb.getTextRun().getRichTextRuns()[0];
// style copy newRt.setAlignment(rt.getAlignment());
newRt.setBold(rt.isBold()); newRt.setFontColor(Color.black);
newRt.setFontName(rt.getFontName()); newRt.setFontSize(rt.getFontSize());
newRt.setItalic(rt.isItalic()); newRt.setUnderlined(rt.isUnderlined());
// remove old shape curSlide.removeShape(shape);
curSlide.addShape(tb); } }
