Re: ZapfDingbats font issues [was: FOP 0.95 fails to compile large PDF files - java heap space]

2009-06-04 Thread Vincent Hennebert
Hi Nancy,

There seems to be a lot of confusion around here :-) And my own earlier
confusion about which version of FOP is affected by the change of the
default value for font-family didn’t help :-|

So please reset your memory, and let’s start again from the beginning.
Which version of FOP are you currently using? You can get it by running
‘fop -v’ on the command line (the first line of output).

Don’t use any FOP configuration file, don’t use any XSLT stylesheet
customization, just the plain default. What problem do you run into, if
any? Please reduce your source XML file to the strict minimum that still
shows the issue, and send us the XSL-FO file resulting from the XSLT
transformation. Then we can have a look at it and figure out what’s
wrong.

Thanks,
Vincent

 Hi Andreas,
 
 Thanks for your response! So if I install FOP 0.95 from trunk, will it still
 issue the warnings? 
 
 I don't understand what you mean by :
 ... is specified  as the first font (depending on which character/codepoint
 you want to  
 render. In my XML file, I just specify the code of the Zapfdingbats symbol
 (in the above example, the phone symbol).
 
 Thanks in advance!

 Hi Nancy

 Thanks for your explanations. I think my version of FOP 0.95 does  
 insert
 Symbol and Zapfdingbats into the font-family parameter - along with
 sans-serif. Apparently, my repository points to the trunk. Look:

 fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format;
 font-family=serif,Symbol,ZapfDingbats font-size=12pt text- 
 align=start
 line-height=normal font-selection-strategy=character-by-character
 line-height-shift-adjustment=disregard-shifts language=en
 ...

 So, I don't see the reason why the # symbol appears in the PDF doc.  
 It seems
 that FOP finds the Zapfdingbats font...
 FOP 0.95 does not yet implement automatic selection of the correct  
 font. In the above sample, 0.95 or earlier will always use only the  
 'serif' font (the first specified in the list). FOP Trunk should be  
 able to deal with that, as it considers all the specified fonts.

 You have to make sure that either Symbol or ZapfDingbats is specified  
 as the first font (depending on which character/codepoint you want to  
 render).


 HTH!

Re: ZapfDingbats font issues [was: FOP 0.95 fails to compile large PDF files - java heap space]

2009-06-04 Thread nancy_b

Hi Vincent,

You are right, I was totally confused. I use an unstable version of Debian,
so I thought apt-get install will pick up FOP 0.95 from the unstable (trunk)
version of FOP. Now I understand that trunk is for source files only. I do
use FOP 0.95. All this long discussion aims at:

1) Getting rid of the font warnings in a proper way :-)
2) Ability to compile a PDF that shows Zapfdingbats symbols, and not #
instead.

Thank you (and others) for your help and patience!

Best regards,
Nancy
