I'm working with some rendering of material to PDF in Publican that
uses CJK fonts (zh-CN, zh-TW, ko-KR, and ja-JP translations). I'm
noticing that any string tagged in such a way as to set font-style to
italic is getting each Unicode character rendered as missing character
boxes. (In fact, it looks like it may be the non-character U+FFFF.)
In particular this affects <emphasis> and <firstterm>, but I think
this is a general issue with anything the brand marks as italic.
I know these fonts don't have a normal italic or oblique style. So,
is there something I can do to fix this? I'd be reasonably happy if
they just rendered as normal-style fonts rather than as missing
characters. I've tested with publican 2.2 and 2.5, docbook-style-xsl
1.75.2-6, with the Fedora brand and our custom brand, on Fedora 14.
Um, fop-0.95-5 also.
It sounds like either:
1: your font cache is out of date
2: F14 is using unexpected fonts
3: the font metrics aren't being setup correctly
To test if it's just the font cache run:
$ rm -rf ~/.fop/fop-fonts.cache
Then try rebuilding a PDF.
If that doesn't help then there is an issue with the font metrics, which
is more fiddly. If the above doesn't fix it, please:
1: post the results of:
$ ls /usr/share/publican/fop/font-metrics/
2: attach your /usr/share/publican/fop/fop.xconf
3: Open an affected PDF and find out the name of the font being used
(File->Properties menu, then Fonts tab).
Cheers, Jeff.
