Re: adding fonts to fop applet
Sorry 'bout that. I thought the issue seemed too simple. Thanks for the clarification.

This procedure is fairly well documented (adding fonts to FOP). Actually you missed the point of this thread. What you've described is how to set up fonts for FOP 0.20.5. But the OP is trying to set up fonts for development version of FOP, which is very different. Sorry to nitpick, just want to be clear for the archives.

Re: adding fonts to fop applet
Edward,
Actually, this is not that difficult, however it's not well documented.
You'll need to set up a configuration file for FOP, convert the fonts that
you plan to use for your application, and add the info for the converted
fonts to the config file. This procedure is fairly well documented (adding
fonts to FOP).
The next step is to set up your application to load the configuration file.
Here is a code snippet I used for loading a config file for a custom FOP
servlet:
public void init() throws ServletException {
try {
new Options(new File(/path/to/config/file/userconfig.xml));
}
catch (Exception ex) {
throw new ServletException(ex);
}
}
That's really all there is to it.
Good luck,
John

The fonts on OS X are in a font suitcase, and I can't find out what extension they are, so I don't know what command to use from FOP to create the files. David, You can't generate fonts for FOP from Mac encoded PostScript fonts. You must use PC or Unix format PostScript font files or else TrueType format.

Re: Font characters showing up as pound signs

The character ends up ad a pound sign in the PDF, though from the same XML file, the character is displayed correctly in HTML on the website. Oddly enough, I can not get that character to show up in my mail program (Eudora) either to show you the character we are trying to reproduce. I have done some reading, and it sounded as if I needed to embed the font in the PDF. I *think* I have done this correct (no errors were produced), but have not been able to overcome the problem. Question: How do I get this character to show up in the PDF? Have you verified that this font contains the glyph you want, and are you using the correct decimal code for the glyph? (This may seem obvious, but) Are you specifying the font in the stylesheet? Typically, a # in the output indicates there was no glyph in the font for this character code. cheers, John - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Aligning paragraph text, setting font-family
Try the following: fo:block font-size=12pt font-family=Arial space-after=0cm text-align=justify text-align-last=left . . . . xsl:value-of select=body/ /fo:block Also, when i give font-family=Arial in a fo:block, it shows [ERROR] unknown font sans,normal,normal so defaulted font to any Iam using Win2k and the font is there by default Nada! Fop only uses base 14 fonts by default. To use Arial, you need to build a font metrics file (in xml) for the font using TTFReader (part of the Apache FOP distribution), then register the font with FOP by modifying or setting up an FOP configuration file. See the documentation on fonts ( ./build/site/fonts.html ). cheers, John ~~ John Root Publishing Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
