Hi Alexey,

Yes, I want to understand how FOP treats the fonts in SVG (and, if you know
that, how fonts are selected in embedded MathML via JEuclid plugin - we use
that, too).
We've had some font discrepancies in the past depending on the fonts installed
on each developer's machine (in part, because some of the authors are on
Windows machines and some are on Linux - so they're likely to have different
fonts). Thus, we've decided to do away with using system fonts and use only
local fonts (i.e. fonts checked out from the repository along with the
document sources).
Understood. We have similar challenges too.

With SVG, fonts are more complicated. The font used in the SVG needs to
be installed in the system and needs to be configured in fop.xconf too.
The warning you got usually happens when the font is in the system but
not configured in fop.xconf, which looking at your example does not seem
to be the case...
Are you saying that the font used in SVG needs to be present both as a system
font, even if it is listed in fop.conf? What is FOP going to use then, system
font or local font?
If it is using system font, that's more than disturbing. As I mentioned, this
completely prevents setting up a controlled environment with known fonts.
yes that is true. Just to be clear, this is a limitation of Batik, not
FOP. Batik uses the AWT Font system as mentioned by Mehdi and Pascal.
Peter is researching the possibility of changing Batik so that it can
use fonts defined in fop.xconf, but that is a long term project with no
quick fix.
Thanks,
Chris
If you want to get to the bottom of the matter please indicate what
version of fop you are using and what OS.
FOP 1.1, Linux (RedHat Enterprise, 6.2).
Also, the use of metrics-url
is not needed anymore (and is not recommended) so you can remove that.
I tried, it didn't have any effect on the warning.
I see you refer to the font file TimesNewRoman.ttf without specifying a
font-base path (which only works if you have the file in the same
directory you have your *.fo file).
I made it so for this reduced test case. Originally, it was embed-
url="../fonts/TimesNewRoman.ttf" - as I mentioned above, we want to have a
controlled font environment.
Is that font file an exact copy of
the installed font in the system of the same name?
The machine does not have a 'Times New Roman' system font (it's a Linux
machine, it comes with a different set of system fonts by default).
But why would FOP need a system font if it has the required font specified in
the configuration file?
Another question is, would embedding fonts in SVGs prevent FOP from using
system fonts?

Alexey.

Hi Luis,
No, it is not the case. In the FO I am using, fo:root has a font-family
specified, and that font family is described in the fop.cfg.
Actually, I traced this warning down to the watermark image specified for
the background. However, that SVG does not refer to 'Serif' font, either.
Can somebody please explain how does FOP treat the fonts in the included
SVG files?
I even tried to add a substitution from font-family="Serif" to font-
family="Times New Roman", it did not help either.
Here is the reduced FO file that exhibits the issue:
[[[
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; font-family="Times
New Roman">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="draft">
<fo:region-body background-image="url(draft.svg)"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="draft">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
]]]
And here is the draft.svg:
[[[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; viewBox="80 80 600 600"
version="1.1" width="5in" height="5in">
<text font-weight="normal" xml:space="preserve"
transform="matrix(0.70710678,-0.70710678,0.70710678,0.70710678,0,0)"
font-size="250px" y="640" x="-315" font-family="'Times New Roman'"
fill="#f2f2f2">Draft</text>
</svg>
]]]
And fop.cfg:
[[[
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fop version="1.0">
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>
<font kerning="yes" metrics-url="TimesNewRoman.metric" embed-
url="TimesNewRoman.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Times New Roman" weight="normal"
style="normal"/>
</font>
</fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>
]]]

Alexey.

This is of no consequence although is it puzzling at first. If you
specify a global font-family in the fo root element I think the warning
goes away. I think what you are seeing has been discussed here:

Hi all,
I see the following warning message reported by FOP:
$ fop -c fop.cfg -dpi 150 apiguide.fo apiguide.pdf
Dec 19, 2012 2:59:02 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener
processEvent
WARNING: Font "Serif,normal,400" not found. Substituting with
"any,normal,400".
...
However, apiguide.fo does not contain any references to 'serif' font:
$ grep -i serif apiguide.fo
$
Why does FOP need 'Serif' font? Is there some built-in expectation that
'Serif' font must be always available?
Regards,
Alexey.
