Still, it just occurred to me that the font definition you added, would only influence the specifications of "font" and "font-family" in the FO, or "Helvetica" specs passed by Batik to FOP. The latter is precisely what does *not* happen, and causes the issue. Batik asks Java for "Helvetica" but gets something different. This font, however, is apparently not known to FOP. At least, not by that name... So, first thing to do, is to find out exactly which font Java AWT *does* give to Batik for "Helvetica". Then we have to find out why FOP doesn't recognize it. Concerning the observation that it renders correctly if you use a 'wrong' font-family specification: that might be a worthwhile option to explore. Which exact font does Batik revert to in that case...? BTW: What exactly does that stack trace point to that you mentioned?

Re: fop not handling svn rotated text on linux
I've now copied all the FreeSans files into the distribution (an eclipse plugin based setup) and expressly call for FreeSans in the svg file. The result is much the same as from relying on auto-detect: Just a different spacing problem from that which we get when we call for Helvetica: The J and o are too widely spaced; the i and the n are touching. Just a reminder: the svg files look fine (and indistinguishable) with either "FreeSans" or "Helvetica". It's just the pdf that is problematic. On 06/30/2011 04:12 PM, Andreas L.

For a quick test, it may suffice to check whether the issue would be resolved, though...

Did you also configure FOP to locate the "FreeSans.ttf" file? See: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/fonts.html#basics, and beyond If FOP is not specifically told to look elsewhere, and it would not find that TTF in the working directory, then as a result, it would still fall back to the default sans-serif and use the inappropriate metrics.

Re: fop not handling svn rotated text on linux
The news about the mac is reassuring, thanks. So far I've swapped out the alias for Numbus Sans L for FreeSans in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/30-metric-aliases.conf: fonts-config; fc-cache; placed the following in my fop config xml but this has been a dead end. I think I've mentioned that replacing with gets me good output so I'll go with that even though it generates a huge stacktrace with each call to print.

Just so you know: the minimized sample Mehdi attached to the bug report renders fine on OS X without custom config.

And as expected (by some at least), no Helvetica from java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames so it's impossible to name correctly :) However, I don't follow your last point on a justifiable non-portable config. Luckily there is only one Linux box that I need to do this correctly so I'm willing to tweak that config file by hand if it comes to that. That machine is responsible for the final pdf for the publishers. I'm not sure what the mac users are seeing, but the Windows users are doing fine with the call for "Helvetica".
