Problem regarding font substitution
Hi all,
I ran across a problem regarding font substitution.
I use font 'x' for my main output. Whenever I come across characters which are
not included in my font 'x' I want to use the ArialUnicodeMS as catch-all.
So on the fo:root element I specified: font-family=ArialUnicodeMS
But now when I come across the following fo:inline
fo:inline font-weight=boldKişar Vari/fo:inline
The text does not appear bold in the PDF
How come?
In my fop configuration I specified the following entry for the ArialUnicodeMS
font:
font metrics-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.xml kerning=true
embed-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.TTF
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal weight=normal/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal weight=bold/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic weight=normal/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic weight=bold/
/font
Do I have to change my configuration?
When I run the transformation I receive the following message:
WARN Event
groupId=org.apache.fop.fonts.FontEventProducer,id=org.apache.fop.fonts.FontEventProducer.fontSubstituted,key=fontSubstituted,params={requested=ArialUnicodeMS,normal,700,
effective=ArialUnicodeMS,normal,400}
How can I prevent this from happening and get the bolded name?
Best regards,
Peder
Re: Problem regarding font substitution
Hi Mehdi,
I'm running one version on MacOS and another on linux, both having trouble with
the arialunicodeMS.
Mind you, I'm using the unicode variant of the regular arial font. This font
has many more glyphs to display than the regular Arial font.
I'm using FOP1.0 on both OS.
Best regards,
Peder

Hi Peder,
What OS are you using? I just checked in Windows 7, and it's not
obvious using the file system GUI, but there Arial is split up into
arial.ttf, ariblk.ttf, ariali.ttf, arialbd.ttf and arialbi.ttf.
However, when going into Windows\Fonts, it does appear to be a single
file. In the Ubuntu flavour of linux, it's the same, arial is split up
into it's constituent parts.
So 2 questions really, firstly, what OS are you using? Secondly what
version of FOP are you using?
Thanks

Hi Eric,
But I only have one truetrype file for the ArialUnicodeMS font
I only have ARIALUNI.TTF and when I use this font in Word I can turn on Bold
and Italic.
What do I have to do to get this working?

You're referencing normal and bold triplets with one font file name.
They're normally separate files.

Re: Problem regarding font substitution
Hi Jeremias,
Well, it helps partially. When I come across words with characters not in the
standard font, the word gets rendered in the second (fall-back) font. The only
side-effect is that bold and/or italic is ignored;-(
Anyway, thanks for the clarification.
Best regards,
Peder

Hi Jeremias,

I can fall back to another font, which in this case is ArialUni but that
doesn't get the bold or italic style if needed.
You can specify font-family=Arial, ArialUni but since Apache FOP
currently doesn't support font selection glyph-by-glyph, the automatic
selection will only work word-by-word. So that probably won't help you,
I'm afraid.
What do you mean with Using ArialUni,Bold In stead of ArialUni in the
/BaseFont entry? Where do I put that?
These are low-level PDF structures. First we'd have to support that in
FOP's PDF library and then within the fonts module. So we're talking
Java development here. Nothing a normal user can do at the moment. I
just mentioned that to give some context should anyone decide to change
FOP to support this.

ArialUni because it tells Windows to synthesize the derived styles. We
could theoretically do this, too, for PDF output, but that is not
currently implemented in Apache FOP. Anyway, I don't think such a
derived font can ever look really nice. And AFAIK, PDF is the only
output format (of the ones we support) that allows this font derivation.
For reference:
- PDF 1.4 Spec, chapter 5.5.2 TrueType Fonts
Using ArialUni,Bold instead of ArialUni in the /BaseFont entry
creates the synthesized font.

Re: Problem regarding font substitution
But the problem really springs from the fact that FOP doesn't support opentype
fonts.
Are there any plans to support opentype fonts in FOP?

PDF/A-1a compliancy and PDF version 1.4
Hi list, I have a question about the PDF/A-1a compliancy of the PDF that FOP produces. We produce PDF/A-1a compliant PDF for a customer of us. But I think there is a problem with the tagging of tables. When PDF/A-1a is selected the PDF version needs to be 1.4 according to the documentation. But the renderer tries to output THead TBody and TFoot tags in the PDF for the appropriate table elements. Only the PDF 1.4 does not support THead, TBody and TFoot tags and when the PDF/A-1a compliancy is being tested, the three tags are being reported as failures. Is this a bug?
