Hey all,
I'm a lil' at a loss on how to get fonts working with fop even though
there seems to be good documentation on it
(
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/configuration.html
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/AddFont.html
)...
I remember a few years ago I got fonts to work somehow, but I think in
versions >.94, its supposed to be easier so you dont have to create
font-metric files or stuff like that based on documentation I'm
reading (btw using trunk version I checked out today)...
So this kinda explains that: "
Prior to FOP version 0.94, it was always necessary to create an XML
font metrics file if you wanted to add a custom font. This
unconvenient step has been removed and in addition to that, FOP
supports auto-registration of fonts, i.e. FOP can find fonts installed
in your operating system or can scan user-specified directories for
fonts. Font registration via XML font metrics file is still supported
and is still necessary if you want to use a TrueType Collection
"
I am doing something simple like only time I reference a font i do
like this: <fo:inline font-family="Arial Black">blah</fo:inline>, and
it is not working.
Getting this output:
$fop -c "C:/dev/fop/config/user-config.xml" test.fo test.pdf
Jan 8, 2010 2:08:52 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent
WARNING: Font "Symbol,normal,700" not found. Substituting with
"Symbol,normal,400".
Jan 8, 2010 2:08:52 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent
WARNING: Font "ZapfDingbats,normal,700" not found. Substituting with
"ZapfDingbats,normal,400".
Jan 8, 2010 2:08:52 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent
WARNING: Font "Arial Black,normal,400" not found. Substituting with
"any,normal,400".
Thought since I had Arial Black on my computer that it wouldn't
complain when making the pdf and would auto-register.
If i have to make a custom user-config.xml to pass to command line -c
parameter, what should it look like?
something like this?...
<fop version="1.0">
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>
<!-- register all the fonts found in a directory, this step may
not be necessary if auto-detect tag basically does this automatically,
also tried this file without below, still doesnt work -->
<directory>C:\WINDOWS\Fonts</directory>
<!-- automatically detect operating system installed fonts -->
<auto-detect/>
</fonts>
</renderer>
</fop>
and then ran:
$fop -c "C:/dev/fop/config/user-config.xml" test.fo test.pdf
Above doesn't work, thought it would find and embed the font i want to
use automatically with that new "auto-detect" xml tag.
Any guidance is appreciated on clarification on embedding fonts (with trunk),
Thanks,
Ari
