Re: Where to download high-quality fonts

Concerning Chris' question about the legal issues, that's a whole different story (--the details of which I'm not too familiar with) I been doing a lot of googling. It turns out that you can't copyright a font. The US gov't is too afraid that such a copyright would lead to someone copyrighting the alphabet itself. What you can copyright is anything that creates a font, which in this case is a Bookman.pfm or Bookman.pfb file. However, I could open up some high quality software, scan in the shape of all the Bookman fonts, twiddle with the shapes until they are exactly right, and realease my fonts with no copyright restrictions. It turns out that doing this is pretty difficult. Still, it is a worthwhile endeavor for someone who is skilled at creating fonts to create knockoffs of the high-quality fonts and realese them under GNU. After all, many of the really nice fonts, such as Garamond, were invented by people 500 years ago, so why should Adobe get copyright fees? (See http://slashdot.org/articles/02/08/18/1519217.shtml?tid=109 for a fruther discussion.) MS itself has realeased the standard web fonts under a pretty non-restrictive (though by no means open source) liscence. You can download these fonts from http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ I don't know if the same non-restrictive MS lisence also applies to fonts beyond these web fonts. I also discovered a webpage that has all the truetype versions of virtually every professional font out there (I'm talking about fonts for laying out a publication, not decorative fonts): http://www.clipserver.de/Fonts/C.htm However, though you can download the fonts without paying, copyright restrictions probably apply. So I can use these fonts with FOP for publishing a thesis, but not for any real commercial work. And of course, these fonts are true-type rather than PS. None-the-less, FOP seems to produce nice output with true-type fonts. It is unfortunate that Knuth's fonts aren't usable for FOP.

Re: Can I put formatting tags in the XML file?

Of course adding any kind of inline FO tags in the source XML gets real nasty. How is this best dealt with? Whats wrong with just placing B/B tags around text you want to make bold in the output. In your XSLT that processes your XML just have a template that matches for these tags and output the appropriate FO.

FOP Hyphenation question
Hi all, I've a FOP hyphenation question. I need to stop the hyphenation of email addresses in a text provided by an user. I could put a fo:inline hyphenate=false around the email address. But I am hoping there is a way to do this with the hyphenation patterns, since that would prevent a search and replace for the email addresses. My question is, does anyone know what I should add in my hyphenation XML file to stop the hyphenation of email addresses.

So to add the fo:inline around the email address I'll have to do a search and replace afterwards, if it's not possible to prevent the hyphenation of email addresses in the hyphenation patterns. Can you be more specific on the way you're constructing the FO? If it is an option to use XML+XSLT, you wouldn't need sr. Provided that the email addresses are separate elements in the source XML, you could just write a template rule to transform those elements into fo:inline's... However, as Joerg already indicated, hyphenation props are block props, so they wouldn't do you much good here :( Over to the bright(er) side then... Take a look at http://xml.apache.org/fop/hyphenation.html#patterns to get an idea of how to use hyphenation patterns for this. Taking into account a limitation mentioned over there, a pattern like: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' would indicate that hyphenating before or after the @ character is highly undesirable. As for preventing hyphenation on the name and domain, this seems a little more complicated, but then again, I'm no expert in this matter. Hope someone with more experience in hyphenation patterns can comment in on this. (A combination of the classes and exceptions might just provide you with a way to achieve what you're after...) As the warning on the page indicates, any feedback regarding errors/problems that could help to make it function better is most welcome. Hope this helps!
