<themeFontLang> (Theme Font Languages)

This element specifies the language which shall be used to determine the appropriate theme fonts in the document's Theme part which map to the major/minor theme fonts.

These mappings are performed as follows:

  • For majorAscii/majorHAnsi, locate the <font> element (§5.1.4.1.16) in the <majorFont> element (§5.1.4.1.24) in the theme part for the language specified by the @val attribute

  • For majorBidi, locate the <font> element in the <majorFont> element in the theme part for the language specified by the @bidi attribute

  • For majorEastAsia, locate the <font> element in the <majorFont> element in the theme part for the language specified by the @eastAsia attribute

  • For minorAscii/minorHAnsi, locate the <font> element in the <minorFont> element (§5.1.4.1.25) in the theme part for the language specified by the @val attribute

  • For minorBidi, locate the <font> element in the <minorFont> element in the theme part for the language specified by the @bidi attribute

  • For minorEastAsia, locate the <font> element in the <minorFont> element in the theme part for the language specified by the @eastAsia attribute

If this element is omitted, then the default fonts for each region as specified by the <latin>, <ea>, and <cs> elements (§5.1.5.3.7; §5.1.5.3.3; §5.1.5.3.1) should be used.

example: 
<w:themeFontLang w:val="ja-JP" />

The <themeFontLang> element's @val attribute has a value of ja-JP, specifying that the theme fonts used for Latin text shall be the theme fonts for Japanese. If the following content was present in the theme part:

…
<a:majorFont>
  …
  <a:font script="Jpan" typeface="MS Mincho"/>
  …
</a:majorFont>
…

Then this setting would specify that uses of the majorAscii and majorHAnsi theme font enumerations shall be mapped to the MS Mincho font. ]
