that works out okay.
I tried "MS Mincho Bold" and several other variations ("... bold",
"...-Bold", "... (Bold)"), but they all resulted in:

MS PMincho

Shame, it *was* a nice idea. Thanks for the suggestion :-).

RE: Japanese fonts do not appear in desired weights
Andreas, Chris, Thanks very much for your responses. Andreas, > When embedding fonts, a separate metrics file should be generated for bold, italic and bold-italic (that is, if you want them to work properly). Right now, your userconfig maps all combinations (normal, bold, italic, bold-italic) to one and the same metrics file. Yep, I can see how that would be a problem... in my defence ;-), I was just copying lines in the supplied userconfig.xml that also does this. Is there a way to get TTFReader to extract separate bold, italic and bold-italic XML metrics files from a single .ttc? (This is assuming that the .ttc *does actually* contain the bold etc. glyphs, as per Chris's point, below.) It does strike me as weird that MS Gothic is showing up in bold... when I view this font in the Windows Character Map application, or set the Notepad font to MS Gothic, then it appears at a much lighter (I presume, normal) weight. Any idea why this might be happening? (On the positive side, maybe this means that the msgothic.ttc *does* contain both normal and bold faces... if only I knew how to generate separate metrics files for each weight.) Chris, > Unlike M$ Word, XSL-FO processors do not "emulate" bold text. Therefore the its up to the source font to contain glyphs for both bold and normal weights. Ah, gotcha. Is there an easy way to find out for sure whether fonts (specifically, the fonts in msgothic.ttc and msmincho.tff) actually *do* contain the different weight glyphs? (Erm, I mean: in addition to trying to render these fonts in bold via an XSL-FO processor? ;-) > Japanese Fonts typically contain glyphs for one weight. I know this because this subject has been discussed on this list before. Oops: I did search the archives before I asked, I swear :-). I've gone back and had another look... > Recommended course of action: find a Japanesse font that has glyphs for both weights. Although I'm not sure any exist; hence the frequency of this question. I can't see any suggestions for (freeware) Japanese fonts (I'm cheap too :-) with different glyph weights... anyone know of any, and where I can get 'em? (I'm off to Google for some now...) If I can't find any, then, as suggested by others in previous emails, I'll make do with a combination of fonts (although why MS Gothic appears in bold still bugs me...). Thanks again for the advice.

Japanese fonts do not appear in desired weights
I'm using FOP to produce English and Japanese PDFs. For English, I use Helvetica and the system "monospace" (Courier) fonts. For Japanese, I use MS PMincho and MS Gothic. In the English PDFs, the fonts appear at their desired weights (such as bold or normal). In the Japanese PDFs, the fonts appear at a single weight. PMincho appears throughout in normal weight, Gothic appears throughout in bold weight. Weird. MS PMincho and MS Gothic are defined in TrueType collection (.ttc) files, msmincho.ttc and msgothic.ttc. Here's a log of messages from TTFReaderor (for PMincho): C:\devtools\Docs\fop>java -cp build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework.jar;lib\xml-api s.jar;lib\xercesImpl.jar;lib\xalan.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -ttcn ame "MS PMincho" c:\windows\fonts\msmincho.ttc mspmincho.xml TTF Reader v1.1.1 Reading c:\windows\fonts\msmincho.ttc... This is a TrueType collection file with2 fonts Containing the following fonts: MS Mincho * MS PMincho Number of glyphs in font: 17807 Postscript format 3 Creating xml font file... Creating CID encoded metrics Writing xml font file mspmincho.xml... This font contains no embedding license restrictions And here's an extract from my userconfig.xml: Yes, the .ttc files *do* exist at that style\fonts\ location, relative to the .fo input file, when FOP runs... the resulting PDF displays PMincho and Gothic fine, just not in the right weights.

Help: how to make an external link to a specific position in an external PDF file
Title: Nachricht :) The following link works fine; AdobeReader jumps to the specified block: Link :) The next link works fine, too; AdobeReader jumps to the beginning of the external document (file.pdf): Link :( But this link does NOT work; AdobeReader opens the internet browser with the address http://file.pdf#MY_BLOCK_ID: Link So, how do I have to specify a link to a specific position in an external file of the SAME directory? Thanks for any help. Best regards Urban
