Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output
Hi there, iam testing with FOP 1.0 and tested with Arial and verdana True Type Fonts and the POSTSCRIPT renderer; created Metrics for it and put it into the configuration file like shown further down in this post, but the result is non readable gibberish as shown in the image below. (btw i have no problems with the PDF renderer...) Any kind of hint/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance!!! http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/file/n40635/TTF-Postscript.jpg renderer mime=application/postscript fonts font-triplet name=Verdana style=normal weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Verdana style=italic weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Verdana style=italic weight=bold/ font-triplet name=Verdana style=normal weight=bold/ font-triplet name=Arial style=normal weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Arial style=italic weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Arial style=italic weight=bold/ font-triplet name=Arial style=normal weight=bold/ /fonts /renderer -- View this message in context: http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/Greek-Characters-in-Postscript-Output-tp40610p40635.html Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org

Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output
Sorry, fingers too big... metric files are deprecated with recent FOP releases. You don't neet them if you want to embed fonts, witch is the common way. Note also that the config schema as widely changed since FOP 0.2.x; there were many issues in the past when upgrading from 0.2.x. you should also provide short XSL-FO that demonstrates the issue. You will get quicker help from list. 2014-05-19 11:53 GMT+02:00 Pascal Sancho psancho@gmail.com: Hi, metric files are depreca 2014-05-19 11:01 GMT+02:00 Normen n.ruh...@alphasoft.biz: iam testing with FOP 1.0 and tested with Arial and verdana True Type Fonts and the POSTSCRIPT renderer; created Metrics for it and put it into the configuration file like shown further down in this post, but the result is non readable gibberish as shown in the image below.

Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output
Hey Pascal and others, i have now uploaded the XML, XSL and the config file iam using (with several blocks commented out). I removed the mextric references in the config and deleted the metric xml files of the TTFs Arial and Verdana but without success, still.

Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output
Don't bother supplying XSL/XML input files. Preprocess them into an XSL-FO file and then send it (and test with it), otherwise the XSL/XML files are just noise. Also, make sure you are using Unicode code points for the greek characters, e.g., #x0370; through #x03ff;. Also, don't bother with FOP 1.0, use FOP 1.1 or the current trunk builds.

Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output
You can use TrueType fonts with PostScript. Things changed a lot since 0.20.5 On 5/16/14, 12:17 PM, Normen wrote: Hello User Group, we are currently in the process of porting our 0.20.5 FOP embed up to a more actual version 1.0/1.1 and wanted to aim for Postscript Output (currently we use the Java Renderer to print). So before we used TrueTpe Fonts enabling us to use i.e. alpha and omega characters in one standard font, i.e. Arial. Now with postscript, as far as i understand it, we can only use single-byte character encoded fonts, so we have a massively limited array of characters in comparison to True Type fonts. Do you have any solution to such a problem? We need to use Arial (could substitute with Base-14 Helvetica) and Verdana (or a lookalike). How would we achieve a font enabling these special characters? Thank you a lot in advance for any clues ou could give me.
