Re: Font Issue (Helvetica)
That did the trick... oh dear -a few hours of trial and error and I didn't come up with this simple solution! Thanks again, Jeremias.

Re: Adding Verdana font in Linux and registering it with FOP 0.94
Hi John, Thanks for your response! Unfortunately, the auto-detect capability did not work for me. By the way, where is the main configuration file that FOP uses to process default fonts and other parameters? Thanks in advance!

Re: table border irregularity
Hi, Peng Zuo wrote: Hi, We are using FOP for printing tabular report. Between each column, there is a border. The attachment is the FO we generated use to print PDF via FOP package. And the PDF is its output result. As you may notice (specially when you zoom the PDF to 400%), the border edge is not separated clearly from adjacent cell background, and also, there are small gaps for the first border. Which version of FOP are you using? The borders are rendered fine with 0.95. As to the brownish background, it is specified on the fo:block child of the fo:table-cell element, with a padding set to -1pt (??). Padding cannot be negative; I presume FOP converts it into a positive padding, hence the white gap between the block and the cell’s border. Specify the background on the table-cell element instead of the fo:block and the problem is gone. Can anybody please give me any hints how to fix this? Is there anything wrong with the FO file?

Hi, dbtool wrote: Hi, I have the same problem. http://www.nabble.com/file/p19715842/preview.pdf preview.pdf shows the mentioned behaviour and http://www.nabble.com/file/p19715842/preview_without_bgcolor.pdf preview_without_bgcolor.pdf shows the same output but without background color for the table cell elements. It looks like the background is painted over the borders. http://www.nabble.com/file/p19715842/preview.fo preview.fo and http://www.nabble.com/file/p19715842/preview_without_bgcolor.fo preview_without_bgcolor.fo contain the XSL:FO code for the two PDF documents. By pressing CTRL+5 (Adobe Reader 8) the irregularity is clearly visible in preview.pdf. Without the background color the borders are painted correctly, but there are still some gaps between rows. There are many nested tables which are generated by a report generator which gets the data from a database, so there is no easier way to generate the desired output. I'm using the last trunk version of FOP (revision 681373). I am thankful for any suggestions! FOP definitely paints borders over backgrounds; what you’re seeing is a rendering defect of your PDF viewer, partly due to the relatively big size of pixels on monitors. The printed document should look ok. The gaps between borders are due to the fact that they don’t come from the same tables. Basically, you have the following scheme: – a table-cell with borders specified on the left and bottom sides; – a table-cell on the next row with no border specified – containing /another/ table, a child row and a child table-cell with borders specified on the left and bottom sides. This is what creates the discontinuity between borders. See the attached FO file as an illustration. Granted, FOP could be a little smarter in painting the borders, but this is a rather corner case. Specify borders on all the sides of the cells and the issue vanishes. FWIW, your FO file really, really contains a lot of tables, most of them having no effect on the layout. Note that this may seriously degrade the performances of FOP. It may be worth considering to optimize the generator a bit.

Hi Nancy, nancy_b wrote: Hi John, Thanks for your response! Unfortunately, the auto-detect capability did not work for me. By the way, where is the main configuration file that FOP uses to process default fonts and other parameters? Try to ‘semi-automatically’ configure the fonts: – by manually pointing to the directory containing the Verdana fonts: directory/usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana//directory – if that doesn’t work for some variants (e.g., you get the upright version but not the italic one), then you have to go a step further: font kerning=yes embed-url=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana/verdana.ttf font-triplet name=Verdana style=normal weight=normal/ /font font kerning=yes embed-url=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/verdana/verdana-italic.ttf font-triplet name=Verdana style=italic weight=normal/ /font etc. Note that the family name remains the same (Verdana), only the style and weight attributes change. This works with both FOP 0.94 and 0.95. At any rate there’s no need to generate the XML metrics files. WARNING: Font 'ZapfDingbats,italic,400' not found. Substituting with 'ZapfDingbats,normal,400'. Sep 28, 2008 4:36:24 PM org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement WARNING: Font 'Symbol,normal,700' not found. Substituting with 'Symbol,normal,400'. This is because there are not italic versions of the ZapfDingbats and Symbol fonts. DocBook specifies those fonts so that a fallback can be used for special characters, but this doesn’t work well with FOP. If your custom font contains glyphs for all the characters you use in your document, then you should have no problems. Verdana does contain glyphs for all the characters and ponctuation marks commonly used in English, at any rate. If you use other special characters like in mathematics, watch unexpected ‘#’ in the output pdf: this is what FOP uses as an indication that it couldn’t find a glyph for the corresponding character. BTW, you shouldn’t get those warnings with FOP 0.94. You do get them with FOP 0.95, although this is not really desirable and I believe that should be fixed again in FOP Trunk.

[Fwd: Application Period Opens for Travel Assistance to ApacheCon US 2008]
---BeginMessage--- Dear PMCs, Please could you forward the below message to your user@ and dev@ mailing lists, thanks in advance. - The Travel Assistance Committee is taking in applications for those wanting to attend ApacheCon US 2008 between the 3rd and 7th November 2008 in New Orleans. The Travel Assistance Committee is looking for people who would like to be able to attend ApacheCon US 2008 who need some financial support in order to get there. There are VERY few places available and the criteria is high, that aside applications are open to all open source developers who feel that their attendance would benefit themselves, their project(s), the ASF and open source in general. Financial assistance is available for flights, accomodation and entrance fees either in full or in part, depending on circumstances. It is intended that all our ApacheCon events are covered, so it may be prudent for those in Europe and or Asia to wait until an event closer to them comes up - you are all welcome to apply for ApacheCon US of course, but there must be compelling reasons for you to attend an event further away that your home location for your application to be considered above those closer to the event location. More information can be found on the main Apache website at http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html - where you will also find a link to the application form and details for submitting. Time is very tight for this event, so applications are open now and will end on the 2nd October 2008 - to give enough time for travel arrangements to be made. Good luck to all those that will apply.
