Hi,
we want to generate PDFs with Docbook to get different language output (e.g.
Cyrillic, Japanese and simplified Chinese).
First we tried to generate Cyrillic output by doing the following:
Prerequisites:
· FOP Version 0.94
· updated XSL styles to use the font as body font
Steps:
1. Installing a True Type Font for Cyrillic (ER Arial KOI-8) in the fonts
directory
2. Added the font to the fop.xconf:
<font metrics-url=" file:///Q:/fop/fonts/ERARKOI8.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///Q:/fop/fonts/ERARKOI8.TTF">
<font-triplet name="ER Arial KOI-8" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
Note from your Help:
Beginning with version 0.94 you can skip the generation of font metric files
and remove the "font-metrics" attribute(?) in the font configuration. The font
metrics files are, for the moment, still required if you use a TrueType
Collection (*.ttc) and in that case you need to regenerate the font metrics
file.
-->We only use a .ttf - but it didn't worked without a font-metrics attribute.
The body text always was displayed with pound signs(#).
3. So I decide to generate an appropriate font metrics file for it by
entering the command line options:
java -cp build\fop.jar; -jar
lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;lib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader
Q:\fop\fonts\ERARKOI8.TTF ERARKOI8.XML
But although I've added the correct version suffix to the jar files I got error
messages:
Unable to access jarfile
lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;lib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar
When entering only the following:
java -cp build\fop.jar; -jar lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar
then this error message was displayed:
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar
Is it possible that this True Type Font doesn't contain the so-called Unicode
"cmap" table? How can I check this?
I'm not so familiar with Java so please give me a hint how to solve this
problems.
Thanks,
Isabel
