Hi Manuel,

now the bold font is not displayed correctly again. It's weird - I did not make 
any changes. Viewing the .ttf files with basic font viewers shows them 
correctly.

Any clue where the problem could be located?

All the best,
Ben

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).

Best regards,
Ben
