Hey J.Pietschmann,
Yes, I did notice that today as i was working on the xml file... one
tutorial on internet had 2 slashes, doh.
Also <directory> unusually doesn't seem to take filenames like
file:///c:/fop but just c:/fop.
Looks like it was my problem of trying to do the xml file from
scratch, guess I didn't provide some default values...
I figured out the default conf file is in conf/ and modified that by
adding my font code and then calling that custom xml on command line.
Here are options that worked:
1. auto-detecting system fonts
<auto-detect/> worked, but gave a bunch of warnings about other
fonts/and true-type collections which need font-metrics it seems,
which would be kinda annoying. Rather just use a few fonts and specify
them to not get these warnings...
2. auto-detecting fonts in custom dirs
Putting the specific fonts I want to use in their own directory via
<directory recursive="true">file:///C:/dev/fop/config/fonts</directory>
did not work at all. Realized it needs different format than the other
how specified font-metrics abs filenames ... This works:
<directory recursive="true">C:/dev/fop/config/fonts</directory>
3. creating font-metrics file:
Not needed if doing above step, but still an option. I prefer doing
step 2, followed by 3, and step 1 as my last option even though its
convenient.
<font
metrics-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/font-metric-files/arial_narrow_normal_ttf.xml"
embed-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/fonts/ARIALN.TTF"
kerning="yes">
<font-triplet name="Arial Narrow" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
<font
metrics-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/font-metric-files/arial_narrow_italics_ttf.xml"
embed-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/fonts/ARIALNI.TTF"
kerning="yes">
<font-triplet name="Arial Narrow" style="italic" weight="normal"/>
</font>
<font
metrics-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/font-metric-files/arial_narrow_bold_ttf.xml"
embed-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/fonts/ARIALNB.TTF"
kerning="yes">
<font-triplet name="Arial Narrow" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
</font>
<font
metrics-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/font-metric-files/capacitor_ttf.xml"
embed-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/fonts/CAPACITR.ttf"
kerning="yes">
<font-triplet name="Capacitor" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
<font
metrics-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/font-metric-files/capacitor_ttf.xml"
embed-url="file:///C:/dev/fop/config/fonts/CAPACITR.ttf"
kerning="yes">
<font-triplet name="Capacitor" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
Here is my whole font file:
<fonts>
<!-- embedded fonts -->
<!--
This information must exactly match the font specified
in the fo file. Otherwise it will use a default font.
For example,
<fo:inline font-family="Arial" font-weight="bold" font-style="normal">
Arial-normal-normal font
</fo:inline>
for the font triplet specified by:
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
If you do not want to embed the font in the pdf document
then do not include the "embed-url" attribute.
The font will be needed where the document is viewed
for it to be displayed properly.
possible styles: normal | italic | oblique | backslant
possible weights: normal | bold | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400
| 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900
(normal = 400, bold = 700)
