The embedded font name is not supposed to match the font name. I don't know if it makes a difference that I didn't like using a config file so I loaded my font in with embedded code using the EmbedFontInfo class, but this works fine for me. If the font you're embedding is installed, Word should recognize it. I copy and paste text from my pdf into Word and Word shows it as having the embedded font "LucidaSans-Typewriter", where the closest Word otherwise gets in the dropdown from the font listbutton is "Lucida Sans Typewriter". I am using the fop.jar from 0.95. It shouldn't matter that I downloaded and compiled the 0.95 jar from the source download rather than downloading a binary jar.
How are you processing fop? Are you using a command prompt, or embedded code? Of course it could also be that there's a problem with how fop generates the physical pdf file. I couldn't get fop to properly send to the correct tray of the correct network printer with a direct print option, so I used the secondary program pdfbox to send the output (which sends it as a Pageable object through the Java print classes), so I just used that program also to create the physical pdf file. I just use fop to do the translation from the XML/XSL, and it gives me pdf format output in a ByteArrayOutputStream object. -----Original Message----- From: Werner Putzhuber [mailto:werner.putzhu...@hyperwave.com] Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 8:57 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: problem with embedding fonts Hi! I have the following problem with embedding fonts: i'm using apache-fop 0.95 (commandline) with a config file: ... <fonts> <!-- register all the fonts found in a directory --> <directory>/var/apphome/<username>/xml-xsl/fonts</directory> </fonts> ... in the fonts-directory there exists a new font: "MyFont.ttf" Within the xsl-file i add the line '<xsl:attribute name="font-family">MyFont</xsl:attribute>' Then I create the pdf and it looks quite well. But: the embedded font has the Name "MyFont-Normal" instead of "MyFont". What happens is that if I copy-paste a section from pdf into MSWord the font will not be recognized / matched with the installed font (MyFont) on the testmachine. I've already tried wo embed this font by means of using: ... <fonts> /fonts/MyFont.xml" kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///<path>/fonts/MyFont.ttf"> <font-triplet name="MyFont" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </fonts> ... The result is the same. Can anybody explain this behaviour and maybe offer me a solution? Thanks in advance ...
