Hi all,
I'm having a persistent and frustrating problem with font embedding.
The general problem is this: my embedded fonts are recognized and
rendered by Acrobat, but not by ghostwriter, kghostview, xpdf, Mac OS
X's Preview.app etc.
I'm running the latest version of FOP (0.20.5rc3a) on an OS X 10.2
machine with JDK 1.4.1.
The fonts are Type 1 fonts, converted from Mac FONT format using
TransMac and CrossFont, with XML files created as per the instructions
on the FOP site.
xpdf will open the file and render non-fontified text, but sends a
series of error messages like this [these error messages are the same
when trying to view the file on a freebsd machine]:
Error (351865): Illegal character '>'
Error (351865): Missing 'endstream'
Error (396575): Missing 'endstream'
Error (440024): Missing 'endstream'
Error (487303): Missing 'endstream'
Error (440024): Missing 'endstream'
Error (351865): Illegal character '>'
kghostview opens the file, but fails to render anything past the first
block of fontified text.
Preview.app renders the text in a default font.
When I try to run Imagemagick's `identify` on a pdf with embedded
fonts, I get the following:
**** Warning: stream Length incorrect.

AFPL Ghostscript 8.00: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Here's an embed line from my userconf.xml file:
<font metrics-file="webapp/WEB-INF/fonts/xml/BauerBodoni-Roman.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-file="webapp/WEB-INF/fonts/pfb/BauerBodoni-Roman.pfb">
<font-triplet name="BBodoni Regular" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
</font>
Has anyone else run into this problem? I realize that it may not have
anything to do with FOP. Maybe it's that my pfbs aren't compatible
with ghostscript's Type 1 rasterizer? But that doesn't fully explain
the incompatibility with Preview.app.
Are there tools out there that could help me to further diagnose the
problem?
Thanks much,
Dan
