Error on Webpage
Hello, on the webpage http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/fonts.html there is an error in the section TrueType Font Metrics: the jar-libs have to be separated with a : and not wit a ; I'm not sure if this is Windows-specific, but on Linux the : separates the libs :-) Best, Tom -- http://www.thomas-zastrow.de German Forum - DTP under Linux: http://www.opendtp.de - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problem with custom fonts
Hi there, I try to use another TTF font with the FOP. As described here: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/fonts.html, I build the metric file which seems to have worked without problems (LinLibertine.xml). Now, I added the following to the font-section of conf/fop.xconf: font metrics-url=LinLibertine.xml kerning=yes embed-url=LinLibertineU-Re-2.2.5.ttf font-triplet name=LinLibertine style=normal weight=normal/ /font The files LinLibertine.xml and LinLibertineU-Re-2.2.5.ttf are in the root-directory of the FOP (version 0.93). The base-tag in the config-file is untouched, it is still base./base But when trying to use the font LinLibertine, I got the error: 14.04.2007 17:36:15 org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement WARNUNG: Font 'LinLibertine,normal,400' not found. Substituting with 'any,normal,400'. Process ended with exit code: 0 I think, I have to put the fonts somewhere else? Thanks!

Which colors?
A lot of questions today ;-) Is there a list with the predefined color names like red, blue and so on? Thank you!

Thanks for pointing this out, we'll see if we can clarify it. Cheers, Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the FOP source, you can find them in org.apache.fop.util.ColorUtil.initializeColorMap() HTH!

The fop.xconf file contains the settings that are used by FOP if no config file is specified, but the file itself is not used unless you tell FOP to use it. If you leave it unchanged, and start FOP with -c conf/fop.xconf, then the result is the same as if no config file has been used.

Andreas, again, thank you :-) I solved the problem: I used absolute paths, which is - in my oppinion - just a workaround :-) But now it works.
