the problem seems to be that fontMapper.pdfToAwt( bf, fontSize ) doesn't seem to be working. the ttf font i had used before is installed on the system, that's why it seems AWT can use, while the X11 fonts are not, and the pdfToAwt for this font just returns "Dialog"... i'm giving up here, trying to find a times-bold.ttf to download and embed. cannot be that i need a whole afternoon to get my stupid chart title done. i also tried to convert the crappy dfont format for the mac os standard times font to ttf using Dfontsplitter, but that gives me "Table 'OS/2' does not exist in /Users/hhrutz/Desktop/font_tmp/TimesBold.ttf" why is this all such a pita ?! thanks for all help nevertheless, -sciss- On 22 Mar 2011, at 17:18, 1T3XT BVBA wrote: > Op 22/03/2011 18:08, Sciss schreef: >> or let's say i have these files: >> >> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/l049016t.pfa >> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/l049016t.afm >> >> which i think represent Luxi Serif Bold Regular >> >> if i try to read that >> >> val bf = BaseFont.createFont( >> "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/l049016t.afm", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, >> BaseFont.EMBEDDED ) >> >> i get >> >> ExceptionConverter: java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: Identity-H >> >> which encoding do i need to put here to use these Type1 fonts? > You're talking about a Type 1 font. > It would surprise me if they had UNICODE support (which is what you want > if you use Identity-H). > The encoding can be font specific, in which case "" is sufficient as > encoding. > Or it can be Adobe's Standard encoding: BaseFont.WINANSI, > BaseFont.MACROMAN,... > > Check out your AFM, does it have a line that says: > EncodingScheme AdobeStandardEncoding > Or does it say: > EncodingScheme FontSpecific > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the > growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
