Does ditac register the fop.xconf file?
No. How could it do that?
I can't figure out why fop is
not using the Tahoma font in the PDF, Tahoma is in my system and
fop.xconf is set to auto-detect system fonts.
Using Antenna House, Tahoma displays in the PDF, but we have to use fop.
We installed the ditac version with fop.
ditac invokes FOP as an external command-line tool. Therefore you must
make sure that this FOP external command-line tool has access to your
fop.xconf.
When ditac is installed with the bundled FOP, ditac auto-detects the
bundled FOP and will invoke it as if ditac command-line option
-fop DITAC_INSTALL_DIR/plus/fop-2.9/fop/fop
(-fop DITAC_INSTALL_DIR/plus/fop-2.9/fop/fop.bat on Windows)
were implicitly specified.
Note that:
-fop DITAC_INSTALL_DIR/plus/fop-2.9/fop/fop
is a shorthand for low-level options:
-foconverter FOP pdf '"DITAC_INSTALL_DIR/plus/fop-2.9/fop/fop" -q -r -fo
"%I" -pdf "%O"'
and:
-foconverter FOP ps '"DITAC_INSTALL_DIR/plus/fop-2.9/fop/fop" -q -r -fo
"%I" -ps "%O"'
--> It's these low-level command line options, not the shorthand option,
which may be used for example to specify a configuration file for Apache
FOP.
For example (on Linux):
-foconverter FOP pdf '"DITAC_INSTALL_DIR/plus/fop-2.9/fop/fop" -q -r -c
"/home/john/conf/fop.xconf" -fo "%I" -pdf "%O"'
More information in:
- "Making Configuration Available to FOP",
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.9/configuration.html
- "Command-line options used to configure ditac",
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/commandLine.html#commandLine__I_ypiuz4_
- "The ditac.options file",
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/commandLine.html#commandLine__ditac_options_file
which is convenient to store long options like "-foconverter FOP pdf ...".
For example, creating "/home/hussein/.ditac/ditac.options" on my Linux
box where "ditac.options" contains:
---
-foconverter FOP pdf
'"/home/hussein/ditac_site/site/_download/ditac-3_14_1/plus/fop-2.9/fop/fop"
-q -r -c "/home/hussein/.xxe10/fop/fop.conf" -fo "%I" -pdf "%O"'
---
allowed me to automatically pass configuration file
"/home/hussein/.xxe10/fop/fop.conf" to FOP when ditac+bundled FOP is
used to generate a PDF file.
