I'm working with some rendering of material to PDF in Publican
that uses CJK fonts (zh-CN, zh-TW, ko-KR, and ja-JP translations).
I'm
noticing that any string tagged in such a way as to set font-style to
italic is getting each Unicode character rendered as missing
character boxes. (In fact, it looks like it may be the
non-character U+FFFF.) In particular this affects <emphasis> and
<firstterm>, but I think this is a general issue with anything the
brand marks as italic.
I know these fonts don't have a normal italic or oblique style. So,
is there something I can do to fix this? I'd be reasonably happy if
they just rendered as normal-style fonts rather than as missing
characters. I've tested with publican 2.2 and 2.5,
docbook-style-xsl 1.75.2-6, with the Fedora brand and our custom
brand, on Fedora 14.
Um, fop-0.95-5 also.
It sounds like either:
1: your font cache is out of date
2: F14 is using unexpected fonts
3: the font metrics aren't being setup correctly
To test if it's just the font cache run:
$ rm -rf ~/.fop/fop-fonts.cache
Then try rebuilding a PDF.
No luck there. Tested this time with Publican-2.2, using ja-JP
XML files, if that matters.
If that doesn't help then there is an issue with the font metrics,
which is more fiddly. If the above doesn't fix it, please:
1: post the results of:
$ ls /usr/share/publican/fop/font-metrics/
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 509138 Oct 5 20:34 AR_PL_UMing_CN.xml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 509479 Oct 5 20:34 AR_PL_UMing_TW.xml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 437321 Oct 5 20:34 Baekmuk_Batang.xml
2: attach your /usr/share/publican/fop/fop.xconf
Attached.
3: Open an affected PDF and find out the name of the font being used
(File->Properties menu, then Fonts tab).
All fonts are TrueType (CID) embedded subset unless otherwise
specified.
LiberationMono-Italic
IPAGothic
IPAPGothic
Times-Roman (Type 1, not embedded)
LiberationSans-Italic
LiberationSans-BoldItalic
LiberationMono-BoldItalic
Symbol (Type 1, not embedded)
Note that roman fonts (like LibSans) work fine for italic/bold-italic,
it's only if there's a tag which renders to italic around something
getting set at least partially in IPAPGothic or something similar.
I believe the primary body font is IPAPGothic, looking at pdf.xsl.
Thanks Steve, looks like the font file names changed between F12 and F13
so a bunch of the metrics files aren't being created :(
We will need to do a font audit and see what is going on.
Cheers, Jeff.
