Re: [docbook-apps] Using custom fonts
I had problems like this as well when switching to FOP. I had to be very careful with parameter settings in my customization layer, like body.font.family. We had been using XEP, and in modifying my layer for FOP, I found it would often not find the italics version of the body font. In some cases I limited some items to an italic font. With XEP, I'd provide a list of fonts or just the base font name, and it would find the italic version, but with FOP, it wouldn't. --Aaron DaMommio On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 11:39 AM, Alan Oehler aoeh...@instartlogic.com wrote: Any other ideas about what might be wrong here?

Re: [docbook-apps] Using custom fonts
Thanks for the ideas. As far as the fop xconf file, I tried both – I first specified the path for each of the four variants of Trebuchet MS and for Consolas; then I tried Thomas' suggestion. In both cases it works the same – the italic and bold do not appear in the PDF output. I'm thinking maybe I'm missing some parameter settings. In my XSL customization layer I have xsl:param name=body.font.familyTrebuchet MS/xsl:param xsl:param name=monospace.font.familyConsolas/xsl:param I was assuming that the base family name was the only parameter value, needed but maybe I'm missing something?
