Hi Sandeep,
I was just wondering what is the use of this configuration if font metrics are
not read from base14 fonts. The font-triplet should provide enough information
for finding correct codepage and characterSet name to insert it as external
object reference in afp file. How base14 attribute in afp font configuration
help in?
The base14-font attribute tells FOP to use metrics that are inbuilt in
the FOP.jar for the named font. The metrics are sufficient for FOP to
place the text and add a font reference to the generated AFP. However,
we cannot distribute the binary data of the actual font as that has
licensing implications. So if you wish to embed the binary data of the
font you must acquire it.
Thanks,
Chris
Thanks& Regards,

Hi Sandeep,
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response. Currently I don't have the IBM raster fonts,
so the configuration is with base-14 fonts. But the documents says
*By default, all manually configured fonts are embedded, unless they
are matched in the **referenced-fonts section of the configuration
file*<http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html#embedding>*.
However, the default fonts shown above will not be embedded.*
So default fonts here means base14-font. Is the assumption right or my
configuration is not able to detect base14-font. I have given
auto-detect tag in fonts config file.
yes default fonts means base14-font. The documentation doesn't currently
state that base14 fonts won't be embedded, but when you think about this
makes sense. You don't provide a path to actual font file so how could
it embed the font? If you remove the base14-font property and instead
add path or base-uri attribute to reference the font files then the
fonts will be embedded. Alternatively create a new font element if the
fonts aren't really the base fonts. If you don't have the font file then
you will have to go back to your client and get them. After all, how can
they expect you to embed them in the output if they don't provide them?
Thanks,
Chris
