Hi everybody,
switching to the fop-0.93 engine, i am facing problems with the
pdf-rendering for font-weight=bold for my custom font 'NewsGothic'.
The font is found by the engine, but is rendered only a bit wider,
not bold. I am using the following configuration:
<fop version="1.0">
<base>.</base>
<font-base>D:/fonts/</font-base>
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<filterList>
<value>flate</value>
</filterList>
<fonts>
<font metrics-url="NewsGothicLT.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="lte50112.ttf"> <font-triplet name="NewsGothic"
style="normal" weight="normal" /> </font>
<font metrics-url="NewsGothicLTBold.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="lte50114.ttf"> <font-triplet name="NewsGothic"
style="normal" weight="bold" /> </font>
</fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>
The engine is running on a windows system with a j2re1.4.2_11.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Ben,
does what is rendered actually match the glyphs as defined in the font,
that is does it match what a basic font viewer would show (not what for
example MS Word would make out of it)?
The reason for the question is that (some) word processors can generate
bold fonts from normal fonts by rendering the same glyph multiple times
with a slight offset. FOP does not do that. It embeds the font
unchanged and without any additional rendering instructions into the
PDF (assuming you generate PDF).

Ben
