Yes, but is there a way to place the -c conf\fop.xconf inside this batch file.
Our software runs the FOP.BAT, I don't really know how this software tells it where the XSL and XML is located. I'm just wondering how I can hard code this inside the batch file. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Douglas [mailto:edoug...@blockhouse.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 3:01 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: font missing warning Those are arguments. The bat accepts arguments as a pass value. So it's just Fop.bat "-xsl \temp\roberto\test2.xsl -xml \temp\roberto\test2.xml -pdf \temp\roberto\test2c.pdf -c conf\fop.xconf" -----Original Message----- From: Roberto Cahanap [mailto:rcaha...@bioreference.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 2:52 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: font missing warning I'm getting somewhere... On the Test server, I renamed conf.xconf. When I tried to create the pdf from the Test server, I get this: WARNING: Font 'Consolas,normal,400' not found. Substituting with 'any,normal,400' But when I renamed it back to conf.xconf, I am still getting this error. I read in the docs that you can specify the config, so I did this: C:\Program Files\Apache\fop>fop -xsl \temp\roberto\test2.xsl -xml \temp\roberto\test2.xml -pdf \temp\roberto\test2c.pdf -c conf\fop.xconf It worked again. I did the same on the PRODUCTION server, adding the -c option at the end, it also worked. Now, I'm trying to figure out where to put this -c option in the FOP.BAT so that it can work within. Thanks again Eric and Jeremias. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Douglas [mailto:edoug...@blockhouse.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 2:43 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: font missing warning Yes. If you're using FOP you're running Java. Somewhere you have a file fop.jar. To compile the fonts into a jar you would need a Java editor (Eclipse, Netbeans). To use them as such you'd have to write your own Java code. That's the path I'm going. Fop doesn't provide an easy way to do that, but embedding them in a jar puts them in with the programs so using embedded code you can reference them directly. The custom jar has to be on the Java classpath so you don't have to worry about hardcoded font paths or auto detection. If you got it to work with the config file telling it where your fonts are I wouldn't worry about it. Other advantages to embedding the specific fonts you need in a jar 1) You can load custom fonts and get them to work on any system. 2) You don't need a config file. 3) The fonts go with the programs so you wouldn't have to worry about different machines having different versions of the same file. We actually had a problem years ago running reports in Courier font on client PCs which were running Windows 98 and for some reasons some PCs had a different version of font so the same report using a font file of the same name produced different output. If I'm testing a program on my PC or a test server I'd rather not rely on the test machine having the same file as the production server or another client machine unless It's a file I specifically put there. -----Original Message----- From: Roberto Cahanap [mailto:rcaha...@bioreference.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 2:08 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: font missing warning "compile the fonts into a jar"... Yikes! That's foreign language to me, that sounds like java talk. Still testing and getting advice... :-) -----Original Message----- From: Eric Douglas [mailto:edoug...@blockhouse.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 1:48 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: font missing warning Remote debugging means assumptions or questions or both. I started by assuming this user like most is running from a command line. Finding the fonts correctly is a lot easier from embedded code. It's even easier if I can compile the fonts into a jar and reference them internally so they never have a path. The second easiest way is if you can reference them with a path relative to the path of the fop.jar. Users frequently expect remote debugging but unless you have remote access to view their machine instructions look like Step 1: Does your screen show this? If yes do this, else do that. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:d...@jeremias-maerki.ch] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 1:35 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: font missing warning Check the environment ("set" on Windows). Look for the "TEMP" entry. It's TEMP=C:\Users\Jeremias\AppData\Local\Temp on my machine for my user. If it's not around, maybe the user under which FOP is running has no write access to the user directory or there is no user directory at all. I have no idea. I love remote debugging. ;-) On 02.02.2011 18:58:53 Roberto Cahanap wrote: > Hello Jeremias, > > Thank you for shaking my memory.
