http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27727 problem displaying Japanese fonts in PDF. Summary: problem displaying Japanese fonts in PDF. Product: Fop Version: 0.15 Platform: HP OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: pdf renderer AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a problem while rendering XML containing unicode characters into japanese characters. I am working on Weblogic 8.1 on NT OS. When the font file(Msmincho.ttf) is placed in c:/winnt/fonts directory the rendering works fine and pdf is generated with Japanese Characters. But when the ttf file is place in a different folder I get the following exception even though I have made an entry in basedir element of userconfig file. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.fop.render.pdf.fonts.LazyFont.getAscender(LazyFont.java:82) at org.apache.fop.layout.FontState.getAscender(FontState.java:56) at org.apache.fop.layout.LineArea.<init>(LineArea.java:111) at org.apache.fop.layout.BlockArea.start(BlockArea.java:181) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Block.layout(Block.java:251) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.TableCell.layout(TableCell.java:269) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.TableRow.layout(TableRow.java:344) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.TableBody.layout(TableBody.java:172) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Table.layout(Table.java:247) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Flow.layout(Flow.java:156) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Flow.layout(Flow.java:113) at org.apache.fop.fo.pagination.PageSequence.format(PageSequence.java:296) at org.apache.fop.apps.StreamRenderer.render(StreamRenderer.java:200) at org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder.endElement(FOTreeBuilder.java:182) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.endElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.scanEndElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.render(Driver.java:481) at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.run(Driver.java:554) at com.db.eqr.ger.ui.web.company.pdf.GenerateMYPDF.createPDF(GenerateMYPDF.java:150) at com.db.eqr.ger.ui.web.company.pdf.CompanyPDFAction.execute(CompanyPDFAction.java:146) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:465) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:274) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1422) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:523) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl$ServletInvocationAction.run(ServletStubImpl.java:1053) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.invokeServlet(ServletStubImpl.java:387) at weblogic.servlet.internal.TailFilter.doFilter(TailFilter.java:28) at weblogic.servlet.internal.FilterChainImpl.doFilter(FilterChainImpl.java:27) Can anyone help me out and let me know what could be the problem here. I have used the following userconfig file. <!--<!DOCTYPE configuration SYSTEM "config.dtd">--> <!-- this file contains templates which allow an user easy configuration of Fop.
