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. Even with the upgrades applied styles don't always work as expected.. but it is closer now. Thanks!

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.
