This is a question for fop-user, but: you embed a TrueType font into
you PDF file. The PCL (and PostScript as well) output of FOP do not
implement font embedding, TrueType format or not.

So, for this to work, you'd have to download the Garamond font to your
PCL printer prior to printing the PCL file produced by FOP. How you do
this and in which format (I don't really know PCL 6, but in "old" PCL, you
cannot use TrueType fonts) is up to you (and your actual printer),
unfortunately.

You don't get a different log output, because FOP cannot look into your
printer and therefore cannot see whether the Garamond font is there. So
it assumes everything is ok and doesn't log an error.

Hope this helps,

Arnd

font problem in fop generated pcl file

2003-02-17 Thread Darryl Nortje
Hi guys. I have an interesting problem that I hope you can help with. 

I am trying to get the font Garamond printed on my pcl output. When I use
pdf as the output the font is on the pdf document. But when I use -pcl as
the output, there is no Garamond font there. The following are excerps from
the userconfig file, the command line argument I use to generate the pcl,
and output printlines from fop.

 
 


 
  
 

 
  
 

 
fop -c c:\java\investec\conf\userconfig.xml -xml c:\1.xml -xsl c:\1.xsl -pcl
c:\1.pcl 

 
C:\fop\fop-0.20.4>java -cp
build\fop.jar;lib\batik.jar;lib\xalan-2.3.1.jar;lib\xercesImpl-2.0.1.jar;lib

\avalon-framework-cvs-20020315.jar;lib\logkit-1.0.jar;lib\jimi-1.0.jar
org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -c c:\java\investec\conf\

userconfig.xml -xml c:\1.xml -xsl c:\1.xsl -pcl c:\1.pcl 
[INFO] FOP @version@

[INFO] [1] 
[INFO] [2] 
[INFO] [3] 
[INFO] [4] 
[INFO] Parsing of document complete, stopping renderer 
[INFO] writing out PCL 

When I output to -pdf, The fop printlines are exactly the same. The only
difference is that the garamond font is on the pdf.

Please help. 

Thanks 
Darryl
