Cool - yep - soon as I got rid of the metrics and properly configured it in the conf, the fonts worked again.
I had to use the full font name as it appears in a font viewer though I guess previously the font's name was overridden when imported into the FOP processor (looks like the previous person was using Antenna XSL Formatter, but hacked into the fop.bat script) Thanks Martin. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 2 June 2008 4:54 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: importing fonts On 02.06.2008 02:59:51 Martin Edge wrote: > Hey Guys, > > Im trying to import two fonts Barcode3of9 and BC4State.. > > The BC4 State one seems to work fine from first creating the metrics file : > > java -cp > build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;l > ib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -fn "BC4State" > fonts/bc4state.ttf bc4state.xml > > I use the same step to create the 3 of 9 metric: > > java -cp > build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;l > ib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -fn "3 of > 9Barcode" fonts/3of9BarCode.ttf 3Of9barcode.xml > > In my configuration I have: > > <fonts> > <font metrics-url="file:///C:/pdfbin/fop-0.94beta/3Of9barcode.xml" > kerning="yes" > embed-url="file:///C:/pdfbin/fop-0.94beta/fonts/3Of9Barcode.ttf"> > <font-triplet name="Barcode3of9" style="normal" weight="normal" /> > </font> > > <font metrics-url="file:///C:/pdfbin/fop-0.94beta/bc4state.xml" > kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///C:/pdfbin/fop-0.94beta/fonts/bc4state.TTF"> > <font-triplet name="bc4state" style="normal" weight="normal" /> > </font> > </fonts> > > (in both the PDF renderer and the PCL renderer block) > > The command line Im using is: > > C:\pdfbin\fop-0.94\fop.bat "E:\work\printer_test\test.fo" -c > "c:\pdfbin\fop-0.94\conf\fop.xconf" -pcl "e:\work\printer_test\test.pcl" > > I do not see any errors for BC4State.. as when both were failing I would > see: > WARNING: Font 'Barcode3of9,normal,400' not found.

Are the "font" tags really configured for the PCL section, too? At the moment font configuration needs to happen for each renderer separately. > However, on startup, I see this error: > > 2/06/2008 10:45:57 org.apache.fop.fonts.FontCache loadFrom > WARNING: I/O exception while reading font cache > (org.apache.fop.fonts.FontCache; > local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = > 605232520271754718, local class serialVersionUID = 605232520271754717). > Discarding font cache file. > 2/06/2008 10:45:57 org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactoryConfigurator configure You can ignore that. > And further down when trying to use the font: > WARNING: Font 'Barcode3of9,normal,400' not found.

You said you're on .NET. So does that mean the .NET version of SAXON? Generally, it doesn't make any functional difference which XSLT processor you use. You can even use Microsoft's. In terms of performance the choice of XSLT processor and the way you combine XSLT + FOP can make a difference. Usually, you lose some performance if you have to serialize the intermediate FO file because it just has to be parsed again later. > Thanks Guys, > Martin. > Jeremias Maerki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
