Unkown font error driving me crazy

2003-11-14 Thread Jerry Sheehan
Hi Everyone,
 
I have searched in vain, but found the search difficult. I have a third party appplication that I'm using that calls this batch file,
 
@ECHO OFF
rem %~dp0 is the expanded pathname of the current script under NTset LOCAL_FOP_HOME=if "%OS%"=="Windows_NT" set LOCAL_FOP_HOME=%~dp0
set LIBDIR=%LOCAL_FOP_HOME%libset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCAL_FOP_HOME%build\fop.jarset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xml-apis.jarset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xercesImpl-2.2.1.jarset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\xalan-2.4.1.jarset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\batik.jarset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jarset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\jimi-1.0.jarset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\jai_core.jarset LOCALCLASSPATH=%LOCALCLASSPATH%;%LIBDIR%\jai_codec.jarjava -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.fop.apps.Fop %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8
 
I have added several new fonts to my system and I'm attempting to use the userconfig.xml file as shown below:


















font>


font>


font>
fonts>

but everytime i run the xsl:fo I get an error that the font is unkown, so it appears that this userconfig file is not being called and I don't understand what I need to do to call it.
 
I found this link, http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html#config-external
But I don't know where that information goes.
Thanks

Ooops ... no sorry. One of these situations, my lack of practice with the
english language shows up.

I  *absolutely need*  it to be repeated.

Thanks again,

Aaah... you *don't* need the image repeated across pages.

So, the image would actually belong to the table-body, and only the text
belongs to table-header (? correct?).
In that case my proposal could work, if it were not for the complication
described below.

Very dirty indeed... Imagine having to deal with a situation like this and
having to base your calculations on the metrics of the particular font being
used. (for fixed-width fonts this would be a bit less complicated since you
can just take the number of chars and multiply that by the charwidth).

Very wise indeed!

Cheerz,

It's a solution to get the image in the first header of the table. But i
still end up with the problem having it repeated after a page break.
The text header will be repeated as there is data in its table-body being
continued after the page break. But there is no data in the table-body that
belongs to the image header so there is no reason for FOP to repeat the
header (the image) on the next page.
And with this problem in mind i come to the idea of Andreas.

And here we have my next problem ...
There occur line breaks in the rows (mostly generated within FOP caused by
hyphenation), that i cannot calculate that easy. Therefore i cannot set a
fixed row height and i do not know how many rows there will be on a page. I
tried to calculate these linebreaks according to the amount of text in the
fields but that's quite dirty (and not completely functioning at all ...)

I agree.

I think i will try to get some other things working first and come back to
this one next week. Sometimes a weekend of doing nothing helps more than
days of thinking ;-)

Thanks to both of you and have a nice weekend,
Roland

Apologies, code should have been:

It's a separate table with a separate header. Try it & see ;)

Cool! There goes my attempt ... :)

Only problem I still see is how's he going to make the contents of the
table-body flow alongside the image in the header.

Roland,

Use nested tables:


  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  
 

   ...
