RE: Where to download high-quality fonts
Pretty sure that's how we got our Arial font in there, don't know about the legal issues though. -Original Message- From: Paul Tremblay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 26 May 2004 12:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Where to download high-quality fonts On Wed, May 26, 2004 at 11:45:04AM +1000, Chris Warr wrote: > Can't you just grab them out of the windows/fonts directory?

If you can just grab those high-quality fonts off the Windows system (and they are not copyrighted), then I just need to find someone with a Windows machine. Anyone every take a Windows font and use it in fop?

RE: Where to download high-quality fonts
Can't you just grab them out of the windows/fonts directory? Or am I talking out my clack? Chris. -Original Message- From: Paul Tremblay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 26 May 2004 11:51 AM To: fop mailing list Subject: Where to download high-quality fonts I think I'm getting the hang of installing fonts in fop, but I can't find any site where I can download high-quality fonts. I think adobe Type 1 fonts are preferable? I would like to have some of the fonts I am use to, such as Bookman, New Century Schoolbook, etc. Can anyone point me to a site? Also, I really like the font that TeX uses. Is there anyway to make this font available to fop? Thanks. I have looked for the past 4 hours (including at the appropriate FAQ's) and finally decided that someone here might know of some advice right off.

page-position="last" will it be implemented
Hi all, I know that page-position="last" is not currently implemented. Is there a chance it will be in the near future? If so, any chance of a timeline? Chris. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Possible thread-safe issue with fonts
It'll do, I just load tested it overnight, no problems for 250,000 hits.
I'm running through cocoon, I don't want to be playing with cocoon's source
as well.

That's not a good idea.
If you have only one servlet and set the configuration
only once, do so in the servlet's init() method.
If you have several servlets, create a singleton class
wrapping the instantiation of the configuration,
roughly
final class ConfigSingleton {
private static Options options;
public final void synchronized init() {
if( options==null ) {
options=new Options("userconfig.xml");
}
}
(Beware! Untested!)
And call ConfigSingleton.init() in each of the servlet's
init method.

RE: Possible thread-safe issue with fonts
OK, it was a threading issue, I downloaded the source and had a play. It
comes about because the static configuration is updated for every
translation I do. FontSetup.addConfiguredFonts() can read from the font
list at the same time as ConfigurationParser.store() updates it. I just put
a line in ConfigurationParser.endElement() to only add fonts if there are
none in the list. Was easier for me than mucking around with
'synchronized', I'm only a java beginner.
} else if (localName.equals("fonts")) {
-->if (Configuration.getFonts() != null &&
Configuration.getFonts().size() != 0)
-->{
-->// Don't update the fonts
-->}
-->else
{
this.store("standard", "fonts", fontList);
}

I don't get that error, just the one 'unknown font dynamo...'
Is this more appropriate for fop-dev?

It sounds like it is a threading problem.
Do you get any messages like:
"Failed to read font metrics file ... "
It would appear that two threads could be reading the font metrics file at
the same time.
Accessing the file is done through the parser so we don't know what it is
actually doing and it depends on the parser.
I think each time it is a new data set in memory so it probably is not
that.

Possible thread-safe issue with fonts
Hi, I'm running cocoon 2.1dev under tomcat 4.04b2 with JDK 1.3 and FOP 0.20.3. My cocoon app is generating a PDF using FOP. I use and embed a font in my generated PDF file with the following in my userconfig file: This all works fine and dandy under normal usage, I get the dynamo font embedded in my PDF and all is well. However if I run a load test (20 concurrent processes) on the same app. I get the following error appear in my tomcat log files: 2002-04-26 15:25:20 ERROR (2002-04-26) 15:25.20:375 [fop ] (/cocoon/invoice.pdf) HttpProcessor[80][11]/MessageHandler: unknown font dynamo,normal,normal so defaulted font to any Not for every hit, but for some. So I'm guessing that there is some sort of problem with resource sharing. That is, could FOP not be thread safe as far as accessing this file? Or if the file is loaded into memory once, could there be multi-threading issues with reading from wherever it is stored in memory? Anyone got any ideas? Chris.
