Summary: Add API for processing of symbols
Product: POI
Version: 3.7-dev
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: HWPF
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Symbols in Word documents are stored specially:
- in the CharacterRun there is a character 0x28
- CHP.fSpec is true
- CHP.ftcSym contains index of the symbol font in the font table
- CHP.xchSym contains character in the symbol font
There are several ways how support could be implemented:
1. add getters for ftcSym and xchSym to the CharacterRun, then user could
process symbols like this.
2. add helper class to help extract symbol and font from CharacterRun
With the first variant the user could do this:
String text = characterRun.text();
String fontName = characterRun.getFontName();
if (characterRun.isSpecialCharacter() && text.length() == 1 && text.charAt(0)
== 0x28) {
fontName = wd.getFontTable().getMainFont(chr.getFtcSym());
text = new String(new char[] { (char) chr.getXchSym() } );
}
// work on with fontName and text
In my testing, the CharacterRun with symbol always contained exactly one
character, but I cannot confirm this is a rule.
Please let me know which version is better to be incorporated and I will
provide a patch.
