I am not able to get Verdana to work. I have tried to follow the
documentation. I have also read the recent emails about embedded font
problems, but I can't quite follow the details.
I am getting this error.
SEVERE: svg graphic could not be rendered: null

Here are the steps I have taken
Create font metrics from the local Verdana.ttf file in C:\WINDOWS\FONTS
using TTFReader
the command window messages indicates it was successful, and the file is
ttfcm.xml
I did use the -enc ansi otpion. My target customers are using Windows and
will have the same Verdana font available locally.
Register Fonts with FOP.
I took the configuration file that comes with the distribution fop.xconf,
and added these elements in the fonts element.
<fo:inline font-family="Verdana" font-weight="normal" font-style="normal">
Verdana-normal-normal font
</fo:inline>
<font
metrics-url="fle:///C:/unzipped/fop-0.91beta-bin-jdk1.4/fop-0.91beta/ttfcm.xml">
<font-triplet name="Verdana" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
Tell FOP about the configuration
Fop fop = new Fop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF);
DefaultConfigurationBuilder cfgBuilder =
new DefaultConfigurationBuilder();
Configuration cfg = cfgBuilder.buildFromFile(
"C:/unzipped/fop-0.91beta-bin-jdk1.4/fop- 0.91beta/conf/fop.xconf");
FOUserAgent userAgent = fop.getUserAgent();
userAgent.setUserConfig(cfg);
For completeness, here is how I am trying to invoke the font within the svg
element.
<g style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; stroke: none;
fill: black;">
Any help would be appreciated. Is there a worked example that touches all
the aspects?
