OK so since FOP cannot do style attribute of outline, I instead found
a font whose normal appearance looks like what you would call an
outline style. The font's name is "Swis721 BdOul BT" (I know this
because i open the file in Font Viewer on Ubuntu and that's waht it
says is the "Name") and it's in a file called "swissbo.ttf" and it's
saved at location /usr/share/fonts/swissbo.ttf. BUT now I just can't
seem to make it work. Here's what I'm doing in detail...
I've got my configuration file which contains the code like this:
...
<fonts>
<directory>/usr/share/fonts</directory>
</fonts>
...
and i'm calling FOP like this: fop -c fop.xconf template.fo output.pdf
inside template.fo I refer to the font like this:
...
<fo:block font-size="14pt" font="Swis721 BdOul BT"
text-align="center">some text</fo:block>
...
is this wrong? i've also tried doing "font-family=" instead of just
"font=" and it also doesn't work. It just prints it in Times New
Roman i think.
Any help is appreciated. THank you.
