Re: # problem
You are lucky, because somebody just mailed the below information to me. Teus. I have figured out how to get FOP to use a Unicode font so it will include the Unicode characters. I can do it manually by telling it to load a user configuration file. I've attached the user config file which works for using the Charis SIL font family. You also have to create font metrics files for your fonts with the TTF reader utility, as described on the FOP web site http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/fonts.html To make FOP read the userconfig.xml file, on the command line I have to specify the -c option followed by the userconfig file name. Sheraz Bashir wrote: Hi everyone, Some Unicode characters appear as ‘# ‘ in pdf. My guess is that probably FOP does not find the character mapping of that character which causes FOP to render # instead of that character. For example, the square root symbol appears as # in output pdf. Is there a way in which we can manually add these mappings in FOP? Thanks, babz
Re: TTRReader works, but what about PFMReader?
Thank you Jeremias, with the new instructions you have given it now works perfectly! Yes, I did have some of the paths wrong, I have to admit... Thanks again, Teus. Jeremias Maerki wrote: Teus, I think you're doing some dangerous things here. Dangerous in the sense of mixing things that should not be mixed. You seem to have copied libraries from FOP into your JRE installation (or you have the absolute paths simply wrong). Stuff like that can have nasty side-effects if you don't know what you're doing. Please stick very closely to the instructions given in http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/fonts.html#type1-metrics. You're obviously using FOP 0.20.5 and JRE 1.5.0. Ok, so you don't need the xml-apis.jar, xercesImpl.jar and the xalan.jar in the classpath because all that is already provided by the JRE. That's what the "Note" box says on the above page. I think the reason that you got this very strange error message is because of the quotes you used. They are wrong and, in your case, unnecessary. Without having a Unix system to test this, try this: cd /home/teus/linux-programs/fop-0.20.5 $JAVAHOME/bin/java -cp build/fop.jar:lib/avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.PFMReader /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/fkarw.pfm /home/teus/fop/metrics.xml You see that the "Note" box on the "Fonts" page also says that "The classpath in the above example has been simplified for readability. You will have to adjust the classpath to the names of the actual JAR files in the lib directory." That means that "avalon-framework.jar" becomes "avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar" for the official 0.20.5 release. The version numbers in the filename can change often. That's why we don't want to simply add them in the general documentation. Well, I hope you'll manage to get it to work now. Good luck!
