Re: Metrics Files for OS X, and image errors
As far as the path for the images make sure you use the absolute path
(without the file:). Remember it's case sensitive as well.
fo:external-graphic src=url('/Users/shoe/opt/fop/test.jpg')/
I'm going to look into the font issue later (I'm still working on some
test stylesheets right now). I'll post what I find out about the fonts
later if someone doesn't beat me too it.

I'll echo Derrick, and also add that url(' and ') aren't necessary.
Works like a charm with my OS X system:
fo:external-graphic src=/Users/shoe/opt/fop/images/test.jpg/
In addition, 'relative' PATHs works as well as long as the 'images/'
directory is a subdirectory of the XML source directory.
fo:external-graphic src=images/test.jpg/
Good luck!

Re: Metrics Files for OS X, and image errors
Thanks, I did end up figuring it out. I used the TTF files for the fonts I needed (just didn't know where to find them). Now, everything seems to be working well. Many thanks for all the help, everyone! Dave John Root wrote: On 6/28/04 2:48 PM, David Shevitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1. I cannot figure out how to create the necessary metrics files for my fonts.

Metrics Files for OS X, and image errors
Hi all, Well, I admit that I feel silly asking this, but I'm not having any luck with the documentation on the FOP Web site. It's probably just me, but any help would really be appreciated. I would like to use FOP on OS X (I'm primarily a Windows user, but I frequently have projects that require me to use a Macintosh). I can get everything working, except for two things: 1. I cannot figure out how to create the necessary metrics files for my fonts. The fonts on OS X are in a font suitcase, and I can't find out what extension they are, so I don't know what command to use from FOP to create the files. 2. When I generate the PDF, I get a number of errors stating that my images aren't in a directory. I don't have the exact error in front of me (I'm back on my PC laptop) but it's similar to: [ERROR] file:/imagename.jpg No such directory. (That's not exactly right. I'll look up the exact error as soon as I am able.) Could anyone offer me some advice? Thank you!
