RE: MICR font in FOP as an embedded application..
Hi Saptarshi,
Hmmm... yes your application need uses the CommanLineOptions class that's
why u mentioned the -c switch.
Well, in my case the process of PDF generation is simple -> XML + XSL = PDF,
in which I have to introduce MICR fonts and I guess the
org.apache.fop.apps.Options will work for me.
But good to know about the CommandLineOptions class, never know when I may
need it.
thanks,
Anil.

Hi Anil,
We are using FOP to convert SVG images -> FO -> PDF. After forming
the FO file, we issue a command to FOP to convert it to a PDF. The call to
FOP goes somewhat like this:
String[] args = new String[]{"-c", userConfigFile, "-fo", inputFile,
"-pdf", outputFile};
try {
CommandLineOptions options = new CommandLineOptions(args);
Starter starter = options.getStarter();
starter.run();
} catch (FOPException fopEx) {
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfEx) {
}
Here, userConfigFile, inputFile and outputFile are the paths of the
respective files. If you check the Fop.java source code, it does a similar
thing in it's main() method.
Regards,
Saptarshi.

Thanks guys,
As the userconfig xml within the jar s not being used, I guess I'll stick to
the approach mentioned by Saptarshi, which hapens to also be the one
suggested on the Apache FOP website, except one thing, in the embedded mode
we need to use the org.apache.fop.apps.Options class that represents the
'-c' switch used for the command line option.
If anyone has any other approach I'll be more than happy to hear from them.
Thanks everyone.

How to use a config file in an embedded environment is described on the
website:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html#config-external

Yes, there is indeed a userconfig.xml in FOP.jar, but its not used!

RE: MICR font in FOP as an embedded application..
Hi Anil, I doubt if the font metrics files can be packaged into the fop.jar. In fact, for custom fonts, you require the metrics file as well as the ttf/ttc files. If included, these can make your jar very bulky too. As far as the userconfig.xml file is concerned, you can try to extract the userconfig.xml that exists in the jar and replace it with your own. I believe, that should work. I guess, other users on this list might be able to throw some light on this issue. Regards, Saptarshi. -Original Message- From: Anil R.

Hi Anil, We're using custom fonts in our application which uses FOP ver 0.20.5 embedded within it. 1. We store the font files (xml and ttf) in some directory (say c:\myFonts). 2.
