Re: Fonts:: Can fop display *any* local font
You can embed any font in the generated PDF following the instructions given here http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts Your catalog of fonts are in your machine. So create a script to generate the font metric files, edit the userconfig.xml file and then generate an FO document that displays some text in each of the fonts. Chuck Stephen Clarke wrote: Hi all, Is it possible to display *any* locally installed font or are we limited to just a few main ones? As I recall, fop is limited to just four or five main fonts for display in pdf output. Is that correct? I'm interested in making a catalogue of all locally available fonts. I was thinking, one way might be through xml and fop to pdf. But probably not a good idea, no? Last time I did it in Flash, but it was awfully complicated and painstaking. I want some way of arranging the fonts together, sans, serif, cursive, etc. Any help appreciated. -- sc
Re: Fonts:: Can fop display *any* local font
Many thanks, Chuck. That's pretty much what I was thinking. I wasn't sure about embedding the fonts.
