SVG Font Problem
I'm having a problem with SVG fonts in FOP. When I use a Times italic font, I get the following error: ERROR 10190 [fop ] (): unknown font Arial,italic,normal so defaulted font to any I'm not even sure it's a Times font that shows up in this case. Bold SVG fonts have the same problem. However, when I use a normal style Times font, it works fine. The problem has recently gotten worse because I've embedded Arial into my PDF. Now I don't get the warning, but it uses the Arial font! Not only that, but any spaces in the SVG text show up as hollow boxes. Why is it looking for Arial? Does anyone have a solution for this? If not, I'd be willing to look at the source code to fix it, especially if someone could point me in the right direction. Fixing this problem is a big deal for me, so I'd appreciate any help SVG FOP gurus could give. Thanks, Scott
Re: SVG Font Problem
Which version are you using? Are the characters being stroked? The main cause of this issue is that the fonts resolved in batik are the java fonts, if not stroking the font pdf font is found by looking through the java font list and finding the first match. This doesn't always work how you might want it to. On 2002.04.17 12:49 Scott Moore wrote: I'm having a problem with SVG fonts in FOP.

Are the characters being stroked? I'm setting strokeSVGText to false. I just tested it with the value true and the problem goes away. Too bad the font is so hard to read in the PDF.

This doesn't always work how you might want it to. That doesn't sound good. Does this mean fixing the problem will be difficult? Thanks, Scott

If you look into the following classes this is where most of the relevant things happen. org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTextPainter org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTextElementBridge You may need to delve into batik somewhere to work out exactly how the fonts work. But I think batik needs to have a java font available for it to get information from.
