save_options = aw.saving.PdfSaveOptions()

run = doc.first_section.body.first_paragraph.runs[0]
print(run.text) # ฿
print(run.font.name) # Arial
save_options = aw.saving.OoxmlSaveOptions()
save_options.update_ambiguous_text_font = True
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'OoxmlSaveOptions.UpdateAmbiguousTextFont.docx', save_options=save_options)
doc = aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'OoxmlSaveOptions.UpdateAmbiguousTextFont.docx')
