Title: True Type Font in ps renderer

I will look into this,   one question though how do you use the font in the ps file,  do you embed it in FOP, or somehow embed it in the ps file afterwards ?   Rob   -----Original Message----- From: Teator, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 9:03 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: True Type Font in ps renderer   We used an application called "Fontographer" to convert some TrueType fonts to a PostScript font.   Then they should work in your PostScript files.   http://www.macromedia.com/software/fontographer/   I'm not sure if there's any cheaper/opensource solutions, but it wouldn't suprise me if there were.

I was able to add the font into FOP, do the configuration and get it to work...sort of. When I render in PDF I can see the line in the document in the correct font, when I render to PS I can not even see the line. After much reading and searching I have come to discover that ttf is not supported in the ps renderer. My question(s) are this: 1) has anyone created a work around ? 2) is there a way,  post processing,  to "define" the font in the postscript file. Can I "manually" alter the ps file, before sending it to the printer, that is can I imbed the definition of the font in the ps file, then alter the file where I need to and make the line appear in the correct font.  Currently, I need to stick to PS files because in the PS document I inject = "statusdict begin 0 setpapertray" to select the paper tray as there is no way to do this within FOP or the style-sheet. 3) If I figure out away to print the PDF directly I will render to PDF, but I have to set a tray command on the document, and I don't know how to do this for a PDF doc. In addition to this I use some of the contents of the PS doc to gather metrics (ie number of pages, sent to printer etc...) Is there a way to "inject" this command into a PDF doc. And is there a way to get the page-count of a PDF doc? Sorry for the long windedness... and the potential confusion Rob
