Re: Quicky question re: cfdocument and fonts
To Peter Boughton, Christine Davis, Chris Peterson, and Sandra Clark -- Thanks again for the help you provided me regarding my question about how to switch fonts within a cfdocument. In the end, a combination of inline style specifications (not font tags) and upgrading my server from 7.0 to 7.0.2 completely fixed the problem. My app is now producing PDFs in the desired font. Thank you! -- Larry Afrin Medical University of South Carolina Sandra Clark wrote: Make sure your call to a stylesheet is within the cfdocument tags. Basically your entire layout.

Upgrade your server, first with 7.0.1 then 7.0.2 you'll still have some interesting issues but it will be better than it is on 7.0 (at least that's been my experience with the tag). We allow our users to create the HTML using FCKEditor and we still have a number of issues (especially with underlines and bolding) relating to the translation from HTML to PDF. Thanks!

Follow-up re: Quicky question re: cfdocument and fonts
Chris, Christine, Sandra, and everyone else -- A bit of a mea culpa here, with some progress but some persistent problems... Thanks again for your previous efforts to help me with my problem making font adjustments in PDFs produced with cfdocument in CFMX 7.0 (Linux). I discovered a typo in my inline style font directive that was causing part of the problem. The font tag still doesn't work, but inline style directives are beginning to work. I now have partial control over the font in the PDF, by which I mean I can control font sizes using the font-size directive and, using the font directive, I can switch (to some degree) among the fonts of font type ADOBE-BUILT-IN as listed on the CFMX server's Font Management page. By some degree I mean I seem to be able to access only the base fonts. For example, font:Times-Roman works, but font:Times-Italic doesn't. Furthermore, whenever I refer to any of the fonts that are listed in the Font Management page as being of font type TRUETYPE, I merely get the default Times Roman. Along the lines of if it ain't broke, don't fix it, I'm now wondering if I really do have to update my server as you, Christine, suggested. Do y'all have any other suggestions for accessing the TrueType fonts (e.g., Arioso, Chevara, Conga, Helmet) listed on my CFMX server's Font Management page? Again, I've tried this with both fontembed settings (yes and no), to no avail; I just keep getting the default Times Roman whenever I reference a TrueType font.

RE: Follow-up re: Quicky question re: cfdocument and fonts
Lawrence, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 fix a number of issues related to CFDocument. 1. ID 60865 PDF files created with the cfdocument tag may not render content with the specified fonts. To avoid this issue, install the TTF sfile for the font you want to use. In addition, on OS X, if the content contains any Unicode characters, the content may not render properly. To avoid this issue on OS X, install Arial Unicode MS or any other Unicode font in .ttf form. 2. ID 60212 cfdocument text clipping at bottom/top of page also fixes 59991 3. ID 61378 Threading Issues And a couple of others I didn't care so much about... It also adds some additional functionality to the CFDocument tag. Our issues with font size and font face decreased significantly after we installed the upgrade. We had examples of the same HTML code showing the correct font face on our development (7.0.2) server and our production (7.0.0) server. I cannot tell you what to do with your server, but my experience has been that upgrading greatly helped with our CFDocument problems. It's not perfect, and quirks still get through.

Um, as long as I'm doing a good stupid impression in public, I might as well also ask: where do I find the TTF sfile to install for the TrueType fonts listed on my server's Font Management page? All of these fonts are listed as being installed in my server's /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType directory, but I don't see anything that looks like an sfile hanging around in there. For that matter, I have no idea how those TrueType fonts came to be on my server in the first place; I'm presuming the CFMX 7.0 install put them there for use with cfdocument and cfreport.

Christine Davis ColdFusion Lead Nations Technical Services Prairie Village, KS 913-748-8044 ext 4703 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Lawrence B. Afrin, M.D. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 5:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Follow-up re: Quicky question re: cfdocument and fonts Chris, Christine, Sandra, and everyone else -- A bit of a mea culpa here, with some progress but some persistent problems... Thanks again for your previous efforts to help me with my problem making font adjustments in PDFs produced with cfdocument in CFMX 7.0 (Linux). I discovered a typo in my inline style font directive that was causing part of the problem. The font tag still doesn't work, but inline style directives are beginning to work. I now have partial control over the font in the PDF, by which I mean I can control font sizes using the font-size directive and, using the font directive, I can switch (to some degree) among the fonts of font type ADOBE-BUILT-IN as listed on the CFMX server's Font Management page. By some degree I mean I seem to be able to access only the base fonts. For example, font:Times-Roman works, but font:Times-Italic doesn't. Furthermore, whenever I refer to any of the fonts that are listed in the Font Management page as being of font type TRUETYPE, I merely get the default Times Roman. Along the lines of if it ain't broke, don't fix it, I'm now wondering if I really do have to update my server as you, Christine, suggested. Do y'all have any other suggestions for accessing the TrueType fonts (e.g., Arioso, Chevara, Conga, Helmet) listed on my CFMX server's Font Management page? Again, I've tried this with both fontembed settings (yes and no), to no avail; I just keep getting the default Times Roman whenever I reference a TrueType font. I've also verified my font directives are inside the cfdocument structure. -- LBA Sandra Clark wrote: Make sure your call to a stylesheet is within the cfdocument tags. Basically your entire layout.

Re: Quicky
Of course, at the same time, I can't stand people who change code from cfif x is y to compare because supposedly compare is .001 ms faster. Actually... compare does execute about 2.5 times faster than doing a direct string comparison, at least on my servers anyway. Granted, if there's only a couple of comparisons to make, it's not worth changing code that's already written (unless it's within a massive loop or a page that gets his several thousand times a minute), but I always use compare/comparenocase on new code regardless. -Justin Scott, Lead Developer Sceiron Internet Services, Inc. http://www.sceiron.com __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
