Re: Relative URL for embedding graphics in FOP
What you're using is not a relative URL! It's actually an absolute filename which FOP internally converts to an absolute file URL. The leading slash makes it an absolute filename/URL. A relative URL is this, for example: fo:external-graphic src=images/myimage.png/ Any relative URI/URL for images is then resolved against the base URI/URL specified in the configuration.

Re: Metrics Format
Forget PFMReader! It's not needed anymore in most cases and is just kept for backwards compatibilities and emergencies. You also won't need an AFMReader. Since FOP 0.94 the XML font metrics files are not needed anymore in 99% of the cases. Just ignore everything on the fonts page below the section header Advanced font configuration.

Re: FOP 0.94 bin - Severe Exceptions on Solaris Box
Hi, Sorry to wake up a bit late, but I’d like to bring some precisions. First, there’s no particular differences between the .tar.gz and the .zip distribution files. In both, the fop shell script is in unix format (lines ending with LF), while the fop.bat, fop.cmd and fop.js script files are in dos format (lines ending with CRLF). No need to convert them with dos2unix, no need to privilege one distribution file over the other one. The reason of providing both .tar.gz and .zip files is that Windows users will naturally choose the .zip file because they are more used to this extension; while Unix users will tend to choose the .tar.gz file. But both platforms can handle both formats (I think), and while the .tar.gz format is smaller this does no longer make much difference with nowadays’ download rates. It’s mainly historical now. As to the shell script problem on Solaris: Matt Healy wrote: On Thu, 20 Mar 2008, J.Pietschmann wrote: Matt Healy wrote: I went back and checked the script, and found that IFS is being set just to the newline character, and does not include spaces.

Italic font not working in fop 0.94
Hello all, I want to generate a PDF displaying the Verdana font. That is going well, except for the bold and italic variants of the font. Can you help out? 1. The .fo I'm using as a source is correct. I know this because if I remove the Verdana font references from my fopconfig.xml file, it does generate, say, italic text where I want it to. 2. AFAIK I've created proper .xml files and refer to the right location from my fopconfig.xml file. I know this because I do see the normal Verdana font. 3. Here's the config fragment I added: font-triplet name=Verdana style=normal weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Verdana Italic style=italic weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Verdana Bold style=normal weight=bold/ font-triplet name=Verdana Bold Italic style=italic weight=bold/ All the .ttf and .xml files are where they should be, but only regular Verdana appears.

[ANN] Apache FOP 0.95beta Released
The Apache XML Graphics team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Apache FOP version 0.95beta. FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by XSL Formatting Objects [1] and an output independent formatter. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, Print and PNG. This beta release will be available for testing for some time, before a stable release is made. Feedback is welcome, and we would like to encourage as many people as possible to try it out and report bugs and issues on the fop-users mailing list [2]. The most important changes introduced by this release are: - many bug fixes and improvements in tables, better support for keeps and breaks, new features: conditional borders and background on columns and header/footer/body; - better image handling thanks to the new image loading framework provided by the Apache XML Graphics Commons dependency; - improvements and bugfixes for font handling and font auto-detection/-registration; - performance improvements and memory optimizations for the property handling in the FO tree. Please note that support for Java 1.3 has been dropped. Only one type of binaries is provided now, that will run on 1.4+ JREs. Other important release notes are available at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/releaseNotes_0.95beta.html For a more complete list of changes, please visit http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/changes_0.95beta.html For download information, see the following page: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/download.html [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/ [2] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/maillist.html#fop-user On behalf of the XML Graphics team, Vincent Hennebert - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Jeremias , I found your response very useful. I have rewritten my code to use UserAgent we were using some old methods of FOP which are now deprecated. I am now back to getting the PDF generated correctly, after code restructuring.

Re: Italic font not working in fop 0.94
Actually, the question you refer to is not the same. Contrary to that user, I did in fact register the various font variants as well. However, I fixed the problem: as of FOP 0.94, you can simply use a lt;directorygt; element to refer to a directory with .TTF files in it (as in c:\windows\fonts\). You can also use the empty lt;auto-detectgt; element so that FOP autodetects all system fonts. I did both, removed the stuff I had inserted before, and suddenly bold and italic variants showed up automatically. M Jeremias Maerki-2 wrote: The same question has been asked only recently.

That is going well, except for the bold and italic variants of the font. Can you help out? 1. The .fo I'm using as a source is correct. I know this because if I remove the Verdana font references from my fopconfig.xml file, it does generate, say, italic text where I want it to. 2. AFAIK I've created proper .xml files and refer to the right location from my fopconfig.xml file. I know this because I do see the normal Verdana font. 3. Here's the config fragment I added: font-triplet name=Verdana style=normal weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Verdana Italic style=italic weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Verdana Bold style=normal weight=bold/ font-triplet name=Verdana Bold Italic style=italic weight=bold/ All the .ttf and .xml files are where they should be, but only regular Verdana appears. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Relative URL for embedding graphics in FOP
There's no need to send your question twice. It takes a short while until a post shows up in Nabble. If you use ./ as base URL, you're selecting the current directory of your application as base URL and not the location of the stylesheet. If you want to do this relative to the stylesheet, it's you who has to provide the info where that stylesheet is. There are various possibilities how this could be done in your code (obviously we don't know your code, so we can only guess). If it looks like this: File xsltFile = new File(C:/Temp/mystylesheet.xsl); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsltFile)); then you can use: userAgent.setBaseURL(xsltFile.getParentFile().toURL().toExternalForm()); It really depends how you set up your stylesheet.

I am setting the base URL as follows: FOUserAgent userAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent(); userAgent.setBaseURL(./); I want the base URL to be where the .xsl file is currently located in the Eclipse project, not a hardcoded absolute path like the one in the example in the links provided below, which suggest: userAgent.setBaseURL(file:///C:/Temp/); If I did this only the machine running the application with this folder structure will be able to set the base URL all other machines will not. so I set the base URL as userAgent.setBaseURL(./); However when trying to generate PDF I get in the console: [ INFO] 03/26/08 10:10:31 : FOP base url is ./ [ERROR] 03/26/08 10:10:32 : Error with base URL ./): no protocol: ./ I have placed the logo.gif in the same directory in Eclipse as the .xsl file, but it doesnt seem to like the base URL.

It's actually an absolute filename which FOP internally converts to an absolute file URL. The leading slash makes it an absolute filename/URL. A relative URL is this, for example: fo:external-graphic src=images/myimage.png/ Any relative URI/URL for images is then resolved against the base URI/URL specified in the configuration.

Font problems when using FOP 0.95 Beta
Hi, I have both FOP 0.94 and 0.95beta on my machine. When I process a file with 0.94, there are no warnings. When I process a file with 0.95 I get the following warnings: 26-Mar-2008 17:37:39 org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement WARNING: Font 'Symbol,normal,700' not found.

Re: Font problems when using FOP 0.95 Beta
Well, you seem to be switching to font-family=Symbol while font-weight is bold. FOP just informs you that it hasn't found a bold Symbol font and is instead using a normal Symbol font. To get rid of the warning, just specify font-weight=normal when you switch to Symbol or ZapfDingbats in your stylesheets.

I'm not sure. There was no explicit change in beahviour but we had various changes in the font area. At any rate, I consider the current behaviour to be correct and expected as I would want to know if a given font is not available and a different one was chosen instead.

Re: Metrics Format
We are open to using either AFM or TrueType fonts whichever gets the Chinese fonts working for us. Fortunately, I have been able to identify the root cause of the issue. FOP processor fails to parse any ttf file which does not have the corresponding cmap table. Heres the sample output: TTF Reader for Apache FOP 0.94 Parsing font... Reading fonts/Helvetica.ttf... Unicode cmap table not present Unsupported format: Aborting I have been able to successfully use auto-detect/ for the fonts with CMAP table but not the ones without it. Is this a bug with TTFReader? We are sure the characters we want to show are really available in this font as they show up when rendered with alternate APIs avaliable like iText. Jeremias Maerki-2 wrote: AFM is for Type 1 fonts. You're talking about TrueType fonts. That's two different pairs of shoes. - What's FOP's log output for your document? - You specified auto-detect/.
