Re: Where to download high-quality fonts

As PostScript is a language, I suspect the program is copyrighted, but you may not have patent problems there. snip Yes, you can do this. You may still have to avoid infringing the offending patents though :-(. So what exactly is a font? I thought a font was more like a data file. I thought the rendering of the font was done by the program. Also, what exactly is hinting? Is that not some technique to make a font look better? To be fair to Adobe, they took those 500 year old glyph shapes, and turned them into a program that reproduces them on your screen. As you point out yourself, this takes a fair amount of time, effort and skill, so I think claiming copyright over their implementation is perfectly reasonable. I find the people who patent incremental improvements to a system, that use those patents as a roadblock to prevent the development of competing implementations to be far more unpleasant. This is however not a commentary on Apple - I do not know how they have behaved with regard to these patents, nor do I know how significant the things they have patents on are. I see your point about Adobe. But they seem to charge extravagant fees. It costs around $170 just to buy a fount like Bookman. Even to have as little at 5 fonts for use would become too expensive except for professionals. AFAIK, it doesn't - that license applied only to that set of fonts. The fact that they were enthusiastically adopted by Linux users, and now are no longer available from Microsoft's own website suggests that MS rather wish they hadn't let them out. I doubt we'll see any more with that license. That could be, though I just downloaded from MS's own site a package of true type fonts that inlucded book antiqua and several other nice fonts. I didn't see any restrictions on the page, and I don't think MS would let you download them if they put liscensing restrictions on them. But I could be wrong. There's no indication of license at that site, but it looks a bit suspect to me Yes, and this site looks suspicious to me as well. I don't think I can just dowload the fonts and provide them on sourceforge. If a font is a set of data (as opposed to a program), it seems in the interest of the open source community to develop some type of open font format. Perhaps a font could be expressed as an XML file, and it could then be processed to create different types of fonts, such as PS or TT. Or perhaps I am way off here. I noticed that the Verdana font was released under the open source liscense: web address: http://www.gnome.org/fonts/ But the company released it an a true-type form, which seems to come with some liscensing restrictions. The inventor of the text processor TeX created some very nice fonts--but these are in a format that FOP can't use. So it seems like we need some type of open foundry. I don't think such a foundry will pop up anytime soon. The artist types who would be best suited for creating fonts are probably not inclined towards computers.

For instance, if I want a box around my SVG, I need to either
draw it in the SVG at 1px smaller or use a block-container at 1px larger.

I *think* the problem is that $x probably is equivalent to '1px' which
is a string of the characters '1'+'p'+'x' and there may be difficulties
with adding a number to a string. There is a recent discussion on this
in the archives, where someone provided some insight into how I was not
completely correct on that assumption with one aspect of XSL-FO (I
don't recall exactly which at the moment) however, that discussion may
not be appropriate for SVG calculation (I don't know).
What should be possible, is for you to modify your system to strip the
'px' for the purposes of the calculation with something like:
width={concat(substring($x,length()-2)+10,'px')}
I *hope* that'll do the trick, but you should see where I'm trying to
go with it...

I thought the rendering of the font was done by the program. Also, what exactly is hinting? Is that not some technique to make a font look better? It is a technique which makes scaled down glyphs look better. Remember, TrueType fonts are used to generate glyph bitmaps for arbitrary glyph sizes. Hints are used to change the glyph locally to minimize artifacts caused by mapping the shape to pixels. For example take the upper case letter T. If the stroke thickness gets down to the range of a single pixel, the joint of the two lines of the T might start looking more black and somewhat like a knot. A hint causes the renderer to lighten the zone up. If a font is a set of data (as opposed to a program), it seems in the interest of the open source community to develop some type of open font format. Why? The TTF and OTF formats are already open. The problem are the software patents related to the bytecode interpreter which requires font *rendering programs* to ask for a license. See also http://www.freetype.org/patents.html [snip search for free fonts] Ghostscript and KDE come with completely free fonts, and I've seen TTF conversion for them. I'm just too lazy right know to search through their distributions for the actual font names and fedd this into Google.

Well, Clay was right (and IIC, I'm the one who corrected Clay in the thread
he remembered) and the problem is actually that it's Xalan (or any other
XSLT processor for that matter) that can't add numbers to strings...
You may want try:
width={concat($width,'+10px')}
In this way, the value of the width property that FOP gets to see is, for
example:
width=1px+10px
in which case FOP should have no problem with it. Right now you're trimming
the measurement units and have Xalan do the calculation, and FOP gets to see
for example:
width=11px
which comes down to the same thing, of course, but wouldn't be usable if the
'10px' were to be an expression in itself rather than a literal value.

Text disappearing in the PDF generated from a FO
Hello All, I am generating PDF from XML using XSLT. When I generate a PDF some portion of the XML is not being printed. Actually I see blank space in that portion of the PDF. This is happening at the end of the first page. I do not have any keep togethers so if the block doesnot fit on the first page then it should break and continue on the next page. If I reduce the margins on the page so that the whole content fits on page 1 then all the content appears properly. I generated the FO and PDF from that FO with same results. I see the text in my FO but not on the PDF. Could this be some kind of a bug? Below is the FO part that has a problem fo:block start-indent=from-parent(start-indent) + 12pt color=black space-before=5pt space-before.conditionality=discard fo:inline font-weight=bold font-style=italic font-family=Helvetica text-align=left color=black fo:inlineTITLE/fo:inline : /fo:inline fo:block start-indent=from-parent(start-indent) + 12pt color=black space-before=0pt space-before.conditionality=discard fo:block color=black space-before=5pt space-before.conditionality=discard fo:inline fo:block font-weight=bold font-family=Helvetica space-before=0pt fo:inline fo:inlineNAME/fo:inline /fo:inline /fo:block fo:block color=black space-before=2pt space-before.conditionality=discard ADDRESS LINE 1 part1 fo:inline fo:inline fo:inlinepart2/fo:inline /fo:inline /fo:inline /fo:block fo:inline color=black space-before=0pt space-before.conditionality=discard fo:block space-before=2pt fo:inline fo:inline fo:inlineAddress line 2/fo:inline /fo:inline /fo:inline /fo:block /fo:inline fo:inline color=black space-before=0pt space-before.conditionality=discard fo:inline fo:inline fo:inlinecity/fo:inline /fo:inline , /fo:inline fo:inline fo:inline fo:inlinestate/fo:inline /fo:inline /fo:inline fo:inline fo:inline fo:inlineZIP/fo:inline /fo:inline /fo:inline /fo:inline fo:block color=black space-before=2pt space-before.conditionality=discard / /fo:inline /fo:block /fo:block /fo:block /fo:block What I expect is Title NAME Address Line 1rt1 part2 Adress line 2 city, state, ZIP However, what I get is Title city, state, ZIP.

RE: PDF Encryption not available warning
-Original Message- From: Abhijit Junnare [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks much for the help. I will try to set up the enviornment. OK, just don't forget: you have to download the sources and recompile FOP to get it to support encryption.

RE: Dimension math, i.e. width={$x+10}
Hi,
A very interesting discussion.
I tried the latest suggestion:
height="{concat($height,'+10px')}"
and got an error:
[ERROR] svg graphic could not be built: null:-1The attribute 'height' of the element rect is invalidorg.apache.batik.bridge.BridgeException: null:-1The attribute 'height' of the element rect is invalid
I guess it doesn't want to add numbers with units
Thanks, Mike

Right
now you're trimmingthe measurement units and have Xalan do the calculation, and FOP gets to seefor example:width="11px"which comes down to the same thing, of course, but wouldn't be usable if the'10px' were to be an _expression_ in itself rather than a literal value.HTH!Greetz,Andreas-To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nope. FOP still does, but, since it's defined in an attribute of an embedded
SVG rect element, passes the unresolved expression to Batik, which doesn't
know what to do with it...

fop CVS snapshot doesn't build with JDK 1.3
Hi,
since fop 0.20.5 has the problem of endlessly creating new pages mentioned in
the FAQ, I tried to build the CVS snapshot xml-fop_20040602103615.tar.gz.
I have the Sun JDK 1.3.1 and ant 1.6.1. It isn't possible to run a newer JDK.
To build I simply run build.sh. My classpath is:
/home/krille/jai-1_1_2/lib/jai_codec.jar:
/home/krille/jai-1_1_2/lib/jai_core.jar:
/home/krille/jai-1_1_2/lib/mlibwrapper_jai.jar:
/home/krille/xml-fop/lib/xalan-2.4.1.jar
The build instructions said it wouldn't be necessary to set the classpath, but
I have added JAI to build with it. The xalan jar seems to be necessary or ant
will fail.
In the ant output the build gets up to the line:
[javac] Compiling 599 source files to /home/krille/xml-fop/build/classes
Then loads of error messages in a number of files follow. Since they all follow
the same pattern I have only pasted the first three. The full log is available
on
request.
[javac] /home/krille/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/fo/FOText.java:132:
Undefined variable or class name: WhiteSpaceCollapse
[javac] if (textInfo.whiteSpaceCollapse == WhiteSpaceCollapse.FALSE
[javac]^
[javac] /home/krille/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/fo/FOText.java:195:
Undefined variable or class name: TextTransform
[javac] if (textInfo.textTransform == TextTransform.NONE) {
[javac] ^
[javac] /home/krille/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/fo/FOText.java:324:
Constant expression required.
[javac] case TextTransform.NONE:
[javac] ^
How to fix this? It has also happened with some of the previous snapshots.
Is it a problem with the code being broken at the moment, or something else?
Alternatively I would also be happy with an uptodate binary build.
Bye, Chris
