font missing warning
Hello! We are getting this warning when we try to create a PDF: Feb 1, 2011 4:35:03 PM org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement WARNING: Font 'Consolas,normal,400' not found. Substituting with 'any,normal,400'. Our environment - we have another program that creates the XML and XSL. We use FOP to create the PDF from these files. Some things to note about our problem: - If we have a simple XSL, then we don't get this error - We have two environments (TEST and PRODUCTION), it works OK in our TEST environment - We are using FOP 0.95 - We use auto-detect/ in the fop configuration file to detect the font. Does anybody know what could be causing this issue? Thank you!

RE: font missing warning
Obviously it means it can't find the font. auto-detect is usually not a good idea. It depends on the font file being found on the machine it's running on. What file contains that font triplet? Is that installed on the production machine? Obviously it's either not installed there or there's something different about the search path.

Re: font missing warning
Hi Roberto, You can do 1 of 2 things, either a) place the font in the correct folder or b) you can be explicit about the location of the font (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/configuration.html#renderers). I'd suggest that you go for the latter rather than the former as it gives you better control over where the font is.

Hello Eric, What I don't understand is that a simple page does not get this error and finds the font. The file is installed on the production machine (Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition), it's called CONSOLA.TTF (Consolas True Type).

Re: font missing warning
Normally, FOP puts the fop-fonts.cache file in user.home/.fop. If that directory is not writable the cache file is put into the temp directory. It could indeed help to delete the cache file. If there was a problem loading a particular font, it can get flagged as invalid and won't be loaded again later.

Hello Jeremias, Thank you for shaking my memory. Yes on the TEST server, we have a folder named .FOP that is in the USERACCOUNT's directory. Inside this is a file called fop-fonts.cache. There is no such folder on our Production server. Would you know why this is so? If this folder is not there, then where would it be looking for these cached fonts?

Re: font missing warning
Check the environment (set on Windows). Look for the TEMP entry. It's TEMP=C:\Users\Jeremias\AppData\Local\Temp on my machine for my user. If it's not around, maybe the user under which FOP is running has no write access to the user directory or there is no user directory at all. I have no idea.

RE: font missing warning
Remote debugging means assumptions or questions or both. I started by assuming this user like most is running from a command line. Finding the fonts correctly is a lot easier from embedded code. It's even easier if I can compile the fonts into a jar and reference them internally so they never have a path. The second easiest way is if you can reference them with a path relative to the path of the fop.jar. Users frequently expect remote debugging but unless you have remote access to view their machine instructions look like Step 1: Does your screen show this?

Thanks for the help Jeremias. I'm new to FOP, so I don't know the ins and outs of it. Hopefully by fixing this issue, I'll learn a little from it.

RE: font missing warning
Yes. If you're using FOP you're running Java. Somewhere you have a file fop.jar. To compile the fonts into a jar you would need a Java editor (Eclipse, Netbeans). To use them as such you'd have to write your own Java code. That's the path I'm going. Fop doesn't provide an easy way to do that, but embedding them in a jar puts them in with the programs so using embedded code you can reference them directly. The custom jar has to be on the Java classpath so you don't have to worry about hardcoded font paths or auto detection. If you got it to work with the config file telling it where your fonts are I wouldn't worry about it. Other advantages to embedding the specific fonts you need in a jar 1) You can load custom fonts and get them to work on any system. 2) You don't need a config file. 3) The fonts go with the programs so you wouldn't have to worry about different machines having different versions of the same file. We actually had a problem years ago running reports in Courier font on client PCs which were running Windows 98 and for some reasons some PCs had a different version of font so the same report using a font file of the same name produced different output. If I'm testing a program on my PC or a test server I'd rather not rely on the test machine having the same file as the production server or another client machine unless It's a file I specifically put there. -Original Message- From: Roberto Cahanap [mailto:rcaha...@bioreference.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 2:08 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: font missing warning compile the fonts into a jar...

If you're using FOP you're running Java. Somewhere you have a file fop.jar. To compile the fonts into a jar you would need a Java editor (Eclipse, Netbeans).

We actually had a problem years ago running reports in Courier font on client PCs which were running Windows 98 and for some reasons some PCs had a different version of font so the same report using a font file of the same name produced different output.

RE: font missing warning
If you can modify the batch file and you can't modify the line which calls the batch file just put the arguments into the batch file if you want to hardcode them. Just put your argument string in where it's accepting arguments. That would be the line ending with %1. Either that or put the Fop.bat statement as I described below (except start with fop2.bat) into a new file named fop.bat and rename fop.bat. -Original Message- From: Roberto Cahanap [mailto:rcaha...@bioreference.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 3:02 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: font missing warning Yes, but is there a way to place the -c conf\fop.xconf inside this batch file.
