Re: Problem with arial font access
Hi, That's one way to do it, but if you want to see which fonts are available to your JVM then you can use the following command: import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment; ... // For font family names GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames() // For font details, from here you can get more information about the fonts GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAllFonts() Hope that helps Mehdi On 5 September 2011 22:04, J.Pietschmann j3322...@yahoo.de wrote: Am 05.09.2011 13:09, schrieb Theresa Jayne Forster: How do you determine the font-family name for a font loaded by autodetect? ...

Problem with arial font access
Hi, I run the 1.0 FOP version on a XP windows system. If I dont specify a configuration file (fop fo test.xsl pdf res.pdf), I get the following warnings : 5 sept. 2011 11:19:51 org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent ATTENTION: Font arial,normal,400 not found. Substituting with any,normal,400. 5 sept. 2011 11:19:51 org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent ATTENTION: Font arial,normal,700 not found. Substituting with any,normal,700. Now, I use the template for the configuration file and I add the following lines : font kerning=yes embed-url=file:///C:/windows/fonts/arial.ttf font-triplet name=arial style=normal weight=normal/ /font font kerning=yes embed-url=file:///C:/windows/fonts/arialbd.ttf font-triplet name=arial style=normal weight=bold/ /font And with fop c fop.xconf fo test.xsl pdf res.pdf it works (no more warning about arial not found). But its not really practical, easy to use a configuration file and add ALL the fonts I want to use. Is it possible to just specify a folder with a lot of fonts (like C:\windows\fonts) and have all the fonts automatically available? I try : auto-detect/ Or directoryC:\windows\fonts/directory But it doesnt work. Any idea?

Re: Problem with arial font access
Hi Philippe, You can try and get that working, but there are several considerations you must take if you're wanting to use the auto-detect. feature, the most significant of which is that the name you set in font-family must match the system font name. IMO configuring the fonts explicitly minimizes problems in the long run, obviously there's an initial overhead.

RE: Problem with arial font access
On that note, How do you determine the font-family name for a font loaded by autodetect? For instance I have the font HelveticaNeue File names are not always the same HELVNBI.TTF - HelveticaNeue BoldItalic Italic Title = HelveticaNeue BoldItalic LTe50920.ttf - HelveticaNeue LT 47 LightCn Regular Title = Helvetica LT 47 Light Condensed What are the names on these? How do we determine them?
