Re: Font Weight
Hi Guys, Sorry to jump onto this so late in the game, but if you're trying to using TTF fonts with PostScript there is a branch called Temp_TrueTypeInPostScript which may help you. It allows you to embed TTFs in the PostScript which will mean you won't have to have the font installed on your printer and you can reference the font-file from your fop.xconf. If you have any issues I'd be more than happy to help.

Thanks Medhi, but as I've explained we're trying to move away from producing PostScript files and instead produce TIFF files. Our old practice: produce a PostScript via FOP and use a third-party software to convert to TIFF. Our future practice: just produce the TIFF via FOP. My goal is to get the font to render a bit darker in the TIFF than it is being produced at this time in order to come closer to the quality of the image produced by PostScript then converting to TIFF. -Josh -Original Message- From: mehdi houshmand [mailto:med1...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2011 3:10 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Font Weight Hi Guys, Sorry to jump onto this so late in the game, but if you're trying to using TTF fonts with PostScript there is a branch called Temp_TrueTypeInPostScript which may help you.

RE: Font Weight
Yes. Generally one font file contains one font set with one weight. You would need to supply a custom font set to get a different weight. Any program which allows you to print in a different weight would do the same, to either require you to have a font set in that weight or to guess at it. Guessing can be bad. For instance I create images from FOP with the PNGRenderer. It gets larger images if I increase targetresolution. If I generate a smaller image then try to make it bigger with the Graphics2D transforming method you can see it gets fuzzy. Optional fuzzy logic could be useful, currently not implemented.

Re: Font Weight
Josh, What you have not said yet is whether you actually have (on your system) a font with the desired weight or not. Specifically, do you actually have installed multiple font instances with the distinct weights you wish to reference? If you do not, then it doesn't do much good to discuss referring to them. On the other hand, if you do have distinct faces with weights 300, 500, 600, 800, 900, etc., installed, then it is merely a matter of ensuring that the reference in your FO file correctly maps to the associated font instance. That can be handled in different ways. So please answer whether you do have the fonts installed in the first place with these weights. G.

I was just doing research on this topic, came back here to supplement my message with info, and saw you already beat me to it. Helpful method: getFontInfo().dumpAllTripletsToSystemOut() So… yes, I do not have fonts installed for font weights of 300, 500, etc. and that would account for resolving to 400/700. The problem I’m seeing is when generating a PostScript and a Tiff from the same xsl-fo file. The text generated in the Tiff (for the 400 weight) appears much lighter than identical text in the PostScript and is likely due to using the Java2DRenderer vs. the PsRenderer.

RE: Font Weight
I tested all the renderers. The TIFFRenderer created an image file and I didn't like it. The PSRenderer didn't like my TTFs. The PDFRenderer works for generating PDF documents and sending output indirectly to the printer. I actually use embedded code and pass a PDFRenderer to the FOUserAgent then get the output in PDF format from the transform in a stream and pass it into the load of PDDocument in the pdfbox project and use the java print job to print it. That has printed everything I've attempted to every printer we have. I'm also now using the PNGRenderer to get the output as images of pages to load into a custom preview window. This is working great. My preview window allows me to transform the document on the server and stream the output images to the client to display so I don't have to generate a transformer or renderer on the client machine and it's pretty fast (way faster than the FOP PreviewPanel). The PNGRenderer of course extends the Java2DRenderer.

RE: Font Weight
The process that we have to take user-generated input and end up with a G4 TIFF file. The current process is like this: 1 - We've got a front-end system that generates HTML from XSLT with a flag for input purposes (input form fields are generated), or output style. 2 - Generated html is passed through a transformer with html_to_fo.xsl applied to create XSL-FO data. 3a - Today, we take the resulting XSL-FO data and use FOP to generate a PostScript file, which is sent to a legacy third party library that transforms the PostScript into a beautiful near-identical G4 TIFF. For technical reasons, we have to stop using the third party library which is both EOL and creates issues (the library does not ignore a console shutdown signal and kills the service). 3b - Tomorrow, I'd like to just take the resulting XSL-FO data and generate the G4 TIFF files using FOP (hence my TIFF-focused Buzilla contributions 49695, 49696 and 50657) . At the moment, I'm just straight generating the TIFF from the XSL-FO data. It mostly looks like the source, but for some reason the lesser fonts are a lot lighter. It's my understating that Fop is output-only when it comes to PostScript, correct? For comparison purposes, I'm generating the PostScript and Tiff files as flat files. Then I 1 - compare them side-by-side on the screen 2 - throw them both at a printer (and make sure the Tiff is sent through PhotoShop and not shrunk to fit). The printouts line up physically, but the font for any 10pt in the Tiff is much lighter (likely due to aliasing) than that produced with the PostScript, or even that produced by a Tiff that has undergone the process described in 3a above. With the Oddly comment quoted below, apparently the PostScript deferred to any,normal,400 and any,normal,700 when confronted with Arial,normal,400, which is not a big deal because my eventual goal is removing the PostScript. -Josh From: Eric Douglas [mailto:edoug...@blockhouse.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 2:18 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: Font Weight 1.

What do you mean by lightness? Are you using the PSRenderer and/or TIFFRenderer to send output directly to a printer, to the same printer, back to back?

Weird, the property resolution code to compute the correct value for bolder seems to be OK, so I always thought this was implemented, but now that you mention it, I went looking and it seems no tests have been added to check for this. Just checked it and, contrary to what I seemed to remember, the properties' values are not OK Plus, FOP's font-subsystem that apparently doesn't know what to do with it yet... (see FontState.getFontState()) First, I'll see if the replacement of the keywords by a numerical value (normal=400, bold=700) cannot be done during property resolution. Then it still becomes a matter of teaching the font- subsystem to do something sensible with those values. Note that numeric values in the range '100' to '500' currently all have the same result as 'normal', and the values '600' to '900' are interpreted simply as bold.

The sad thing is that tools like CSS2XSLFO output bolder for a b tag, so I have to post-process its FO to change them all to bold. As a temporary workaround, one could easily implement that post- processing via XSLT. Identity transform for everything but the attribute font-weight when it has a value of bolder. That's basically what I'm doing. In actual fact I'm doing it with a custom XMLFilter which I figured should be slightly faster. I had to use a custom filter anyway because I also had to fix its output to quote font family names with spaces in them (I can nuke that hack once the next stable FOP comes out, of course.)

Hi Daniel, Daniel Noll a écrit : Hi all. Is there a particular reason why when I have a font-weight=bolder, it doesn't actually make the text any bolder?
