Re: Why some fonts in FontSetup but not others?

But suppose I'm generating PDFs for an intranet app (as it happens I am) and have complete control over which fonts are on the user machines. Well, in that case I do not want PDFDocumentGraphics2D's constructor looking at textAsShapes and deciding to instantiate a FontInfo class that uses a FontSetup class that effectively is used to restrict which fonts I can use. Yes, this would be possible. You could create a font setup that knows what fonts you have by default, restrict other fonts, not embed fonts etc. you may still need the font metrics info though. Where does the FOP embedding font technique get its fonts? Do you have to give FOP a path to where to find fonts to embed? Or can it get them from Java AWT font calls and then serialize them into a format to put in the PDF? Or do you have to put the fonts right into the XSL FO document for FOP to find there? FOP can get info about embedding fonts from a config file. This is done from a conversion of font files (look at the website). In the case of PDFGraphics2D (as I said, not implemented) it would need to setup the embedded fonts the same sort of way. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Why some fonts in FontSetup but not others?
Randall, The particular fonts that are added in FontSetup are all the fonts that are always available to Acrobat Reader. These are fonts that come with acrobat. Other fonts may be avilable to acrobat on your machine (because you havew a particular font installed) but that does not ensure that someone else will be able to view the document with that font. So in particular for the PDFGraphics2D you have two options: - use shapes to draw text (makes the file much larger and looks bad in the viewer but prints ok) - embedd the font using FOP embedding font technique, currently this is not implemented for svg text On Sun, 12 Aug 2001 09:33:48 Randall Parker wrote: In org.apache.fop.render.pdf.FontSetup.java a number of fonts are listed by addFontProperties calls. I am wondering how those particular fonts were chosen and why others are not listed there. For instance, why aren't QuickType and Arial listed? There are many others that could be listed as well. It appears that for any font that does not get initialized in FontSetup.java then when one uses that font in a call to PDFDocumentGraphics2D the result is to change it to a default font (which appears to be Helvetica without bold or italics). On my own machine looping thru and dumping out all the fonts available on JDK 1.3 here is what I see: - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Why some fonts in FontSetup but not others?
Keiron, If one took the SVG document and parsed it into a DOM tree could one then look at that tree to find out which fonts it used, add an XSL FO set of tags around it that called out which fonts to embed and then convert that into a PDF? BTW, I've posted in a couple of forums elsewhere asking for info about which fonts are available in each version of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader. I'll let you know if I learn anything.
