Hi there,
First already thanks for helping me with my previous question. I've
found the solution. Seems a collegue of mine made a dirty fix to one of
his problems. The project on which I work consists of two clients: a fat
(swing) and a web. The swing app is deployed using Java Webstart.
Now, since our fonts are located in a jar file, and due to webstart
(according to my collegue) which prohibits you to load from a specific
jar file, he had 'overriden' the FontInfo class and decide not to use
the URLBuilder but to use an other method (code shown):
public URL getMetricsFile() throws FOPException {
try {
return this.getClass().getResource(metricsFile);
// return URLBuilder.buildURL(Configuration.getFontBaseURL(),
metricsFile);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new FOPException("Invalid font metrics file: " + metricsFile
+ " (" + e.getMessage() + ")");
}
}
But since I was doing my test on Linux in a shell, this seemed to fail.
Anyway, on to the next problem.
As said, we have a jar file which is both used in the fat client and the
web client. In this jar, the fonts are to be found in fonts/metrics/...
and fonts/truetype/...
Now, I've found a post that says that if you want to load a font from a
jar, you should use:
jar:file:///home/peter/fop/fop-0.20.5/lib/labeling.jar!fonts/metrics/arial.xml
or something like this.
Now, my problem is that when I use the above statement in my userconfig
(again I'm testing in a shell with no fontBaseDir or baseDir set in the
userconfig), I get an error that says:
Failed to read a font metrics file: Invalid font metrics file:
jar:file:///home/peter/fop/fop-0.20.5/lib/labeling.jar!fonts/metrics/arial.xml
(no !/ in spec)
I've also tried variations but the result goes from other Exceptions to
the same error. Anyway, what I would like to have is a solutions where
the userconfig may be different for each deployment (fat or web) but
that the fonts are in a jar file and are found :-)
