Re: embedding font Bundesbahn-Pi at FOP
Hi William, Most of the work involves entering all the charset data for ExpertEncoding and ExpertSubsetEncoding (contained in Appendix C of http://www.adobe.com/devnet/font/pdfs/5176.CFF.pdf) into src/codegen/fonts/encodings.xml - see http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43143. Its not a difficult job, just quite a long one. If you are able to find the time to do this then I would be more happy get it working for you.

But I would need some guidance on how to and what should I do since I've never followed fop-dev before. Thanks. Adrian Cumiskey wrote: Hi William (and all), This did turn out to be an encoding problem after all. Unfortunately I do not have the time at the moment to provide a fix for this problem. but I have provided a patch which provides the ability for FOP to correctly identify the type 1 font encoding. At least now you will be provided with a human readable log error message rather than NullPointerException :-). Maybe someone could take a look at implementing support for these encoding types? It wouldn't be too difficult, it would mostly involve adding data to src/codegen/fonts/encodings.xml. Most of the background information anyone would require for providing support for these encodings can be found in the patch I provided (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43143). If you are still using a metrics-url in your font configuration then you will need to regenerate your metrics file once this patch has been applied as the font encoding detection is flawed for detecting these encoding types for type 1 fonts in the existing implementation. Of course font you don't need to specify metrics-url attributes in your fop.xconf anymore in the latest trunk code and in the forthcoming 0.94 (and 0.93 if I am correct). You can just provide an embed-url and FOP will generate the metrics on the fly. e.g. font kerning=yes embed-url=Bundesba.pfb font-triplet name=Bundesbahn style=normal weight=normal/ /font All the best, Adrian. william wrote: Thanks Adrian and everyone, I have sent it to you for you to take a look at it (font and FO). if there's something that is useful for me/others to know, please do tell me.
