RE: Unicode Fonts!!!!
Hi, you can generate the metrics from the TTF file as per instructions at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html , a decent unicode font that covers loads of the glyphs is "Arial Unicode MS" font found at C:\WINDOWS\Fonts on my PC. See:- http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html#arialunicodems for details of the Unicode tables it covers. Even though you are on a Mac, you can still download the font TTF file from Microsoft cheers Karl From: Paul Loy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 19 September 2006 2:29 AMTo: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.orgSubject: Re: Unicode Fonts yeah but that still doesn't give me the fonts I need.

Re: Unicode Fonts!!!!
On my "unicode" wars... i've found one site of huge value:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html
This has ALL the unicode tables of ALL supported glyphs on ALL the standards
(specially important if you need just "that" glyph and you don't know it's
code).
I ended up consulting it regulary on my work.
Another page of some interest specially because of the use of Macs is:
http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html
Which can enlight why some characters appear and some don't.
Cheers,

Re: Unicode Fonts!!!!
On a mac you can check the acrobat reader directories to get some type1 font
that works... ;)
(i'm not sure where are the system fonts instaled on macs)
The principle is the same and anyway, FOP is system transparent (hope my
faith isn't displaced, so far it isn't)... if you create a metrics file i'm
sure it will work with any kind of fonts that it suports albeit the OS its
under...

Looking for advice on "positioning" of fo:instream-foreign-object and fo:external-graphic
Gentlepeople, I am trying to get rid of line-leading (not sure this is the correct term actually) when adding an instream-foreign-object or external-graphic to a block As an example In the result (pdf using fop 0.92) the instream object (with a red background) is not positioned at the top but rather at a position which seems to (indirectly?) depend on the font-size. One suggestion to eliminate this region is to set the line-height to 0 (see http://www.renderx.net/lists/xep-support/2607.html) That does however not seem to work with FOP. The area between the top of the red box and the top of the page is gone, but the line is no longer positioned correctly, but shifted vertically. If I set font-size to 0 and do not explicitly set line-height it seems to work with FOP. So I guess I have two questions 1) What is the advised way to eliminate this "line-leading" area (the approach above seems not very elegant)? 2) Is the suggestion made on the XEP list wrong and/or is there a problem in FOP and/or is this one of the implementation dependant areas of FO? Any guidance, as always, extremely appreciated. Thanks, Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The questions have some significance, because the PDF file that resulted from fop was edited with Acrobat pro 6 (which "unembeds" the font and allows the edit to continue, showing a warning regarding this) and when it was tryed to export to ps, acrobat just refused to work because the font's didnt match (there was a diference between the names like "Arial,light" in the PDF, when the true font name is "Arial-light"). This little diference had no side-effects on the PDF, but forfeited the use of the PDF for anything. The PDF restarted to work well after we grabed a font editor and changed in the internal properties of the font the "-" for a ",". Mayhappen the reasons for changing the font names when working with full/partial embed fonts aren't relevant anymore... Would like to take the oportunity to suggest that a switch like "-fullembed" (or something like that) be used instead of the "-ansi", as a "clarification" of what the switch do. Cheers, LF P.S.- get rid of the font metrics would just be perfect. Also perfect would be to note in the config file how one wants the font to be placed on the pdf (partial embed, full embed or reference only). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Font-names...-tf2287650.html#a6365457 Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: xml to pdf converstion(generic xsl-fo)
I would recommend using XSLT to do the transformations that you need. Unfortunately you will need to learn XSLT first before you can use it. Check the Xalan website for more details. The Mulberry XSLT mailing list (google) is best for specific questions you may have.

RE: xml to pdf (generic)
Vijay, This seems more like a question about XML -> XSLT conversion. A better group for that would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] Perhaps if you posted your XSLT and brief example of your XML we, or xsl-lists could be of more help, or if I misunderstand a more complete explanation of your problem since I don't understand specifically what it is. The general process is XML + XSLT -> XSL-FO -> PDF. The XSL-FO -> PDF is quite easy and described in detail on the FOP web site.

Re: keep-with-next causes last row of previous table to come along
thanks chris, you were right. In the meantime I had sent the fo-file to J.Maerki, and he recommended the same as you (acknowledging though that it is some kind of exception that will be fixed). cheers,and thanks everyone for the support&development - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

paul wrote: ok, why first attempt doesn't work is clear now, it's not implemented yet my workaround for the moment: Between Table A and Table B I insert an empty Block. Now everything works as I'd like it to. So maybe this is a BUG??? Doesnt sound like a bug to me. keep-with-next only tells the formatter to make sure the following object starts on the same page as the first object. (objects in your case is table-row) It does not prevent the formatter from breaking the objects themselves. So in theory, the formatter could start the second object but then before any actual content is placed, a break is allowed and the rest of the object occurs on the next page. So when working with keep-with-* properties, keep-together should be set as well to give the results you expect. In one of the earlier examples you gave, it looks like you could easily solve your problem just by adding keep-together="always" onto the second fo:table object. This would be much easier than specifying keep-with-next and keep-together on every row in the table.

Re: Font names...
One of the things that appeared from the properties of the document is the "actual" font values. The config i used is: And i created the font metrics with the following class call (a short fused version based on the fop.bat): org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -enc ansi %FOP_CMD_LINE_ARGS% With those parameters, i assume that the "full" font is embedded... as it is looselly refered in the import font documentation of fop... The actual font parameters aren't setup in the PDF. Mayhappen with the addition of those "actual" font file, pointing the url file, the PDF could be editable... Just a tought...

Re: Font names...
I assume the problem comes from FOP's embedding only a subset of the TrueType font in the PDF. In that case we cannot use the original font name because we don't embed the full font. If you have to be able to edit the PDF you'd need to embed the full font in which case we could use the original name. FOP currently doesn't support that, though.

Re: Font names...
Luis Ferro wrote: > > The test is simple... > Not that simple i'm afraid... i think i'm in a goose chase here regarding font names... The font that is in use by FOP (thru the config options) either gets a diferent name in windows or isn't recognized by it (even thru it's a ttf font, albeit can be in a format that windows can't use). So, naturally all tries to edit the document in Acrobat are doomed to fail.
