Re: Unicode fonts Re: issues with TTFReader
How about STIX or Gentium? Both are serif fonts though. Thanks Justus, I went for DejaVu Serif, but I am not so fond (font?) of it, since that is a pretty wide font. I have a three column layout with sometimes long words and the page view is not that nice with DejaVu. As long as I did not find a better alternative, it suits my requirements In my search of alternatives, I looked after your suggestions, and I have some comments on that STIX is still in Beta, so I can't sell it to my customer as a production font Gentium does support some Greek and Cyrillic, but too little Cyrillic for my purposes (and the Cyrillic also is documented as 'in beta') I also did not find "bold" and "bold italic" fonts in the package So, my hunt for better is still open cheers Geert - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
Re: Unicode Fonts!!!! (don't give up on us!)
Please wait a second before you give up and spread a wrong impression that FOP isn't up to the task. The bits of information that were given to you contained all the hints that were necessary to accomplish your goal. But I can imagine it is difficult to get it all together. So let me give you a step-by-step guide to a full Polish document with Apache FOP: 1. Obtain a font that contains all the necessary characters. PDF defines a set of 14 so-called base fonts (Helvetica, Times etc.) which are expected to be available on every PDF-capable product, viewer or producer. These fonts are defined as Type 1 fonts with a maximum of 255 distinctive glyphs. And this set does not include every character you need for your Polish documents. That's the reason why Michael Bruns cannot view your iText-generated PDF properly. Your Acrobat Reader maps the Helvetica font to an Arial font which has all the necessary characters, but Michael's system only supports the basic base 14 font set as required by the PDF specification. So you can't be sure that your PDF generated using iText can be viewed correctly on every system as you depend on the fact that the viewer has a font with all the characters available. That's why it's important to embed a font in the PDF that contains all the necessary characters. You can make sure every PDF viewer uses the right font that you want used. And this is best done using a TrueType font. A free set of TrueType fonts can be obtained from the DéjàVu project, for example: http://dejavu.sourceforge.net 2. Generate the XML font metrics file for each font you'd like to use. This procedure is described in http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.92/fonts.html or http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/fonts.html depending on the FOP version you're using. I know this step is awkward, but for the moment FOP still needs it. We hope that'll change soon. There are efforts in that direction. 3. Configure the font in your FOP configuration file. A minimal configuration file for FOP 0.92beta would look like this (assuming you use DejaVuSans as a font): 4. Run FOP (with your configuration file). On the command-line: fop -c myconfig.xml -fo myfile.fo -pdf myfile.pdf For embedding in Java, see the documentation. As a proof that this actually works, please see the attached files. BTW, I recommend you encode your XML files using UTF-8 so you have the full Unicode spectrum available and don't have to reply on using character entities. And yes, it works on a Mac.

Hi Michael, could you take a sceenshot of the pdf so I can see what it looks like to you. That would be great. Thanks, Paul.

Re: Unicode Fonts!!!!
Hi all,
thank you for all your comments and help. I am still unable to get a
single character to come out in polish. I have, therefore, admitted
defeat and am going to ditch the old nasty code in favour of iText, a
free PDF generating library. It was so easy to get the characters to
display in the PDF using this:
package com.mydomain.pdf;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.Font;
import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.mydomain.sql.ConnectionFactory;
public class GenerateFulltextPDF {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String para = "";
try {
Connection con = ConnectionFactory.getConnection();
PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT
wstf_fulltext FROM wstf WHERE wstf_wlng_id=2 LIMIT 1");
ResultSet res = stmt.executeQuery();
if (res.last()) {
para = res.getString(1);
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Document document = new Document();
try {
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("NewPage.pdf"));
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont("Helvetica",
"iso-8859-2", true);
Font f = new Font(bf, 12);
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph(para, f));
}
catch(DocumentException de) {
System.err.println(de.getMessage());
}
catch(IOException ioe) {
System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
}
document.close();
}
}
and that's it! I've attached the PDF too.
I like the fact that FOP allows XSLT transformations into PDF, a very
powerful feature, but I can't do with it's pitiful unicode support.
Make it simple people! All we want to have to do is say: "this is
iso-8859-2, can you output the correct characters please" and for FOP
to say "no problem mate, if the font supports it"...
Alas, FOP is not for me at the moment. Perhaps when they sort the
unicode issues out it'll be worth coming back to. Good luck one and all
with your FOPing, I hope you manage where I have failed.

Re: Unicode Fonts!!!!
On a mac you can check the acrobat reader directories to get some type1 font
that works... ;)
(i'm not sure where are the system fonts instaled on macs)
The principle is the same and anyway, FOP is system transparent (hope my
faith isn't displaced, so far it isn't)... if you create a metrics file i'm
sure it will work with any kind of fonts that it suports albeit the OS its
under...

I think this is due to the font we were using didn't have the unicode glyphs. My question is, where are any unicode fonts for FOP. I just want an Arial or Helvetica type font, nothing fancy! Then, how do I use this font in my PDF? Here's a snippet of my xslt: I've tried changing the VAGRounded bit to Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman but I still don't get the characters to be in the final PDF!!!
