I've built podofo 0.9.3 on Mac with PODOFO_NO_FONTMANAGER=ON CMake variable.
It was built fine.
I'm trying to run podofotxt2pdf example program with hello_text.txt
(which just contains "Hello World" text):
./podofotxt2pdf ./hello_text.txt out.pdf
and I see output that font Arial is not found:
CRITICAL: No path was found for the specified fontname: Arial
Error 2 occured!
PoDoFo encounter an error. Error: 2 ePdfError_InvalidHandle
Error Description: A NULL handle was passed, but initialized
data was expected.
Callstack:
#0 Error Source:
...full_path.../podofo-0.9.3/tools/podofotxt2pdf/podofotxt2pdf.cpp:76
Also, I tried other font names which are installed onto my system (I'm
sure, for instance, Annabelle, it could be viewed by Font Book application):
./podofotxt2pdf ./hello_text.txt out_ann.pdf -fontname Annabelle
... the same error.
I can use only base14 fonts, like that:
./podofotxt2pdf ./hello_text.txt out_ann.pdf -fontname Courier
works fine.
Do you think that using font directly from .ttf file could solve this
problem?
(In this case I should modify podofotxt2pdf.cpp source file)
