Changing font for a particular part of a Word document

Changing font for a particular part of a Word document

Dear Folks,

Is there a way to change the font for a particular part of a DOCX word 
document?

I am using Source Sans Pro as the main font for my document but I am using 
font awesome icons in some parts of the text for which I would like to 
change the font to font-awesome so that they come up with right icons 
instead of just squares.

Is there a way to do this with a lua filter so that I do not have to go 
into the and do some post processing? I will also like to change the font 
color of these icons as well.

I am able to achiever this in the PDF and HTML by writing some raw latex 
and HTML respectively but I am not sure how to do this for DOCX.

I am using a reference DOCX with some minor customizations for Font  and 
font size.

I hope someone can lend me some insight.

Thanks in advance,
Nanda

Custom styles are the answer. Just define a named character style
"Awesome", or perhaps "Emoji" in case you change fonts with the right font
in the right size[^1] in your reference-doc, and then in your markdown
source:

    [👍]{custom-style=Emoji}

[^1]: This is assuming that your "word processor" can handle color fonts.
If not Symbola is a good b/w alternative.

If you do this a lot a Lua filter can save you some typing:

``````lua
function Span (span)
  if span.classes:includes"emoji" then
    span.attributes['custom-style'] = "Emoji"
    return span
  end
  -- else
  return nil
end
``````

Now you can just type `[👍]{.emoji}` and run pandoc with this filter.

It works the same with divs and character styles.

Thanks @BPJ once I had setup the font awesome styles in the reference docx 
I used the following lua code:

```lua
-- Before using this filter please set up the FontAwesomeRegular,
-- FontAwesomeSolid and FontAwesomeBrandds style in the reference docx
function Span (span)
if span.classes:includes"fa-regular" then
span.attributes['custom-style'] = "FontAwesomeRegular"
return span
elseif span.classes:includes"fa-solid" then
span.attributes['custom-style'] = "FontAwesomeSolid"
return span
elseif span.classes:includes"fa-brands" then
span.attributes['custom-style'] = "FontAwesomeBrands"
return span
-- else
end
return nil
end
``` Just posting it here incase some else finds this useful.
