Looking for help, including consulting, with font selection

2010-01-03 Thread Benson Margulies
There are a number of historical bugzillas dealing with the
font-selection-strategy issue. Given the age of some of them, I sent
the following to j...@apache.org. I was also advised that it would be
reasonable to post here ...

Basis Technology Corp is looking to engage someone on a consulting
basis to make some improvements to Apache FOP.

The missing killer feature is the ability to render the string
A=E3=81=82 with the A from font Candara and the =E3=81=82 from
font MS Gothic.

We believe that capability we need is
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/slice7.html#font-selection-strategy
and that's not yet implemented in FOP.

We are looking for someone who (a) has experience with the FOP code
sufficient to implement this, and (b) had engagement with the
community sufficient to refine to the point where it is acceptable to
the community for inclusion.

Please just send email to me (bimargul...@gmail.com).

I don't have a font called MS Gothic on my XP / Word 2007 PC, so
i've used Century Gothic instead, but subject to that, and assuming
the relevant fonts are available, isn't this just:

fo:block
fo:inline  font-family=CandaraA/fo:inline
fo:inline  font-family=Century Gothic=E3=81=82/fo:inline
/fo:block

with a config such as:

fop version=1.0
strict-configurationtrue/strict-configuration
renderers
renderer mime=application/pdf
fonts
font embed-url=file:/C:/WINDOWS/FONTS/CANDARA.TTF
font-triplet name=Candara style=normal
weight=normal/
/font
font embed-url=file:/C:/WINDOWS/FONTS/GOTHIC.TTF
font-triplet name=Century Gothic style=normal
weight=normal/
/font
/fonts
/renderer
/renderers
/fop

cheers .. Jason
