Re: [docbook-apps] fop and embedding fonts
Thanks David, I'm working on a Linux box, and was trying to use the fonts from my TeX installation. I did finally succeed: These lines in the fop configuration file: directory recursive=true/AppDocs/tex/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/directory directory recursive=true/AppDocs/tex/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/directory That will automatically embed the fonts; if there is a type1 font with the same name as a truetype font, it wins (I guess because it comes second in the list). However, in my version of fop (1.1), subsetting type1 fonts is not supported. Also, by specifying the body font in the stylesheets like this: xsl:param name=body.font.family select='NimbusRomNo9L-Regu, Meiryo'/ For Latin characters, the Nimbus fonts are used (it is a Times clone), and when it runs into characters not available in that font, it switches to Meiryo (a Japanese Unicode font). thanks, --Tim On Fri, Dec 12, 2014 at 10:57 AM, David Goss g...@fstrf.org wrote: Do you have your conf file to set to look for system fonts: fonts directory recursive=trueC:\Windows\Fonts/directory auto-detect/ /fonts If so, and if you have DroidSans available as a system font, it might be trying to pull the system version (which might an open type font, which FOP wouldn't support).

Re: [docbook-apps] fop and embedding fonts
I believe the @name attribute in font-triplet must match the font name recorded in the font file, which is DroidSans in this case. There are ways to alias fonts in FOP, but not by just using the name attribute.

Re: [docbook-apps] fop and embedding fonts
Do you have your conf file to set to look for system fonts: fonts directory recursive=trueC:\Windows\Fonts/directory auto-detect/ /fonts If so, and if you have DroidSans available as a system font, it might be trying to pull the system version (which might an open type font, which FOP wouldn't support).
