Re: Problem regarding font substitution

Hi Peder,

What OS are you using? I just checked in Windows 7, and it's not
obvious using the file system GUI, but there Arial is split up into
arial.ttf, ariblk.ttf, ariali.ttf, arialbd.ttf and arialbi.ttf.
However, when going into Windows\Fonts, it does appear to be a single
file. In the Ubuntu flavour of linux, it's the same, arial is split up
into it's constituent parts.

So 2 questions really, firstly, what OS are you using? Secondly what
version of FOP are you using?

Thanks

 Hi Eric,

 But I only have one truetrype file for the ArialUnicodeMS font
 I only have ARIALUNI.TTF and when I use this font in Word I can turn on Bold
 and Italic.
 What do I have to do to get this working?

 Best regards,

 You're referencing normal and bold triplets with one font file name.
 They're normally separate files.

 Subject: Problem regarding font substitution

 Hi all,
 I ran across a problem regarding font substitution.
 I use font 'x' for my main output. Whenever I come across characters which
 are not included in my font 'x' I want to use the ArialUnicodeMS as
 catch-all.
 So on the fo:root element I specified:  font-family=ArialUnicodeMS
 But now when I come across the following fo:inline
 fo:inline font-weight=boldKişar Vari/fo:inline
 The text does not appear bold in the PDF
 How come?
 In my fop configuration I specified the following entry for the
 ArialUnicodeMS font:
         font metrics-url=/location to
 fonts/ARIALUNI.xml kerning=true
           embed-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.TTF

   font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal weight=normal/
           font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal
 weight=bold/
           font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic
 weight=normal/
           font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic
 weight=bold/
         /font
 Do I have to change my configuration?
 When I run the transformation I receive the following message:

 How can I prevent this from happening and get the bolded name?

Hi Mehdi,

I'm running one version on MacOS and another on linux, both having trouble with 
the arialunicodeMS.
Mind you, I'm using the unicode variant of the regular arial font. This font 
has many more glyphs to display than the regular Arial font.
I'm using FOP1.0 on both OS.

Best regards,

Peder

Re: Problem regarding font substitution

2011-02-02 Thread Jeremias Maerki 
There are two fonts: arial*.ttf and arialuni.ttf. The latter has more
glyphs but only comes in one style. Word can display bold and italic for
ArialUni because it tells Windows to synthesize the derived styles. We
could theoretically do this, too, for PDF output, but that is not
currently implemented in Apache FOP. Anyway, I don't think such a
derived font can ever look really nice. And AFAIK, PDF is the only
output format (of the ones we support) that allows this font derivation.

For reference:
- PDF 1.4 Spec, chapter 5.5.2 TrueType Fonts

  Using ArialUni,Bold instead of ArialUni in the /BaseFont entry
  creates the synthesized font.

2011-02-02 Thread mehdi houshmand 
I concur with Jeremias, if you wish to view fonts so you can better
diagnose these issues yourself a good tool is fontforge
(http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/) which allows you to analyse
individual glyphs. Also as part of the same package is a program
called showttf which I've found invaluable in debugging font files.

Hope that helps

Hi Jeremias,

Well, it helps partially. When I come across words with characters not in the 
standard font, the word gets rendered in the second (fall-back) font. The only 
side-effect is that bold and/or italic is ignored;-(
Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

 You can specify font-family=Arial, ArialUni but since Apache FOP

RE: Problem regarding font substitution

2011-02-02 Thread Eric Douglas 
There are 3 options.

1) You must include font-name for each block with a reference to a font which 
contains every character you're trying to print.  If you want bold text you 
must reference a bold font name on the tag.  If you want unicode you must name 
a font set which includes the unicode characters.  If you want bold unicode you 
must have a bold unicode font.

2) You can reference a bold font name to get normal characters to print in bold 
and a fallback font name of unicode to get unicode characters to print.  You'd 
still need a font file containing a unicode bold triplet to get the unicode to 
print in bold.

3) The program must be able to use a normal font and generate a bold font from 
it.  I'm no expert on generating fonts, I don't know how difficult it might be 
to identify lines of characters in fonts, but I think there's more to creating 
a good bold font than simply making the lines thicker.

 Hi Peder,
 
 What OS are you using? I just checked in Windows 7, and it's not 
 obvious using the file system GUI, but there Arial is split up into 
 arial.ttf, ariblk.ttf, ariali.ttf, arialbd.ttf and arialbi.ttf.
 However, when going into Windows\Fonts, it does appear to be a single 
 file. In the Ubuntu flavour of linux, it's the same, arial is split up 
 into it's constituent parts.
 
 So 2 questions really, firstly, what OS are you using? Secondly what 
 version of FOP are you using?
 
 Thanks

  Hi Eric,
 
  But I only have one truetrype file for the ArialUnicodeMS font I 
  only have ARIALUNI.TTF and when I use this font in Word I can turn

  What do I have to do to get this working?

  You're referencing normal and bold triplets with one font file name.
  They're normally separate files.

  Hi all,
  I ran across a problem regarding font substitution.
  I use font 'x' for my main output. Whenever I come across 
  characters which are not included in my font 'x' I want to use the 
  ArialUnicodeMS as catch-all.
  So on the fo:root element I specified:  font-family=ArialUnicodeMS
  But now when I come across the following fo:inline fo:inline 
  font-weight=boldKiºar Vari/fo:inline The text does not appear 
  bold in the PDF How come?
  In my fop configuration I specified the following entry for the 
  ArialUnicodeMS font:
          font metrics-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.xml 
  kerning=true
            embed-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.TTF
 
    font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal 
  weight=normal/
            font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal
  weight=bold/
            font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic
  weight=normal/
            font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic
  weight=bold/
          /font
  Do I have to change my configuration?
  When I run the transformation I receive the following message:

  effective=ArialUnicodeMS,normal,400}
  How can I prevent this from happening and get the bolded name?

 But the problem really springs from the fact that FOP doesn't support

 Are there any plans to support opentype fonts in FOP?

  Hi Jeremias,
 
  What can be done when I have characters in the xml that don't have a
 glyph in the used font?
  I can fall back to another font, which in this case is ArialUni but that
 doesn't get the bold or italic style if needed.
 
  You can specify font-family=Arial, ArialUni but since Apache FOP
  currently doesn't support font selection glyph-by-glyph, the automatic
  selection will only work word-by-word. So that probably won't help you,
  I'm afraid.
 
  What do you mean with Using ArialUni,Bold In stead of ArialUni in the
 /BaseFont entry? Where do I put that?
 
  These are low-level PDF structures. First we'd have to support that in
  FOP's PDF library and then within the fonts module. So we're talking
  Java development here. Nothing a normal user can do at the moment. I
  just mentioned that to give some context should anyone decide to change
  FOP to support this.

  There are two fonts: arial*.ttf and arialuni.ttf. The latter has more

 for
  ArialUni because it tells Windows to synthesize the derived styles. We
  could theoretically do this, too, for PDF output, but that is not
  currently implemented in Apache FOP. Anyway, I don't think such a
  derived font can ever look really nice. And AFAIK, PDF is the only
  output format (of the ones we support) that allows this font
 derivation.
 
  For reference:
  - PDF 1.4 Spec, chapter 5.5.2 TrueType Fonts
 
  Using ArialUni,Bold instead of ArialUni in the /BaseFont entry
  creates the synthesized font.
