Bug ID: 63028
Summary: Provide font embedding for slideshows
Product: POI
Version: 4.0.x-dev
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: SL Common
Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org
Reporter: kiwiwi...@apache.org
Target Milestone: ---
The project [1] which brought me to POI has some font embedding functionality
[2].
My goal is now to provide convenience methods for XSLF and helper classes for
HSLF (not sure, if the unknown font records also contain MTX fonts), to embed
fonts.
In POI, I can only provide the interface to integrate the converted/compiled
MTX fonts - similar to PJs poi-shared-strings project, I forked [3] and will
provide a sfntly project [4] to convert and embed the truetype fonts. Although
google put the code under ASF license, I think it's better to keep it outside
our trunk.
A bit off-topic:
With things like the SVG-support (with huge a dependency to batik, which is not
listed in the poms on purpose), signature support (with dependencies to
bouncycastle / xmlsec) and Apache service mix changes (which we don't track), I
think about a place how to provide those non-core features in a more
user-friendly way. I have two problems with that, either it's forked code (but
with an ASL) or it's simply blowing our dist files with dependencies. We had
already discussions about that, but outsourcing the implementations to private
github repos is also not so convincing ...
