Trying to figure out how to add fonts to the XMLMind XSL Server platform.
I can see that in the web.xml there is a setting pointing to the
“customizeDir”
<!-- customizeDir
========================================================
This directory is intended to contain one or more of
the following specifications:
* Customizations of the stock conversion specifications of XMLmind
XSL Server.
* User-defined conversion specifications.
* Apache FOP font specifications (e.g. map "sans-serif" to
"Verdana").
And inside this directory, we have a file called config.txt.
Please remove this directory and this file as it gets in the way. See below.
The question I have is – what is the format that we use to specify the
new fonts?
The file formats used to customize XMLMind XSL Server are not
documented. You'll have to use a desktop application, XMLmind XSL
Utility, to interactively create and test these files. See below.
Is it just a comma delimited string?
No, not at all.
XMLMind XSL Server customization (of any kind but access control)
requires using XMLmind XSL Utility (yes, the *desktop* application --
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/xsl_utility.html).
1) Start XMLmind XSL Utility.
2) Click "Preferences". Select "FOP" and specify the font mappings that
you want to use for Apache FOP as explained here:
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/com.xmlmind.guiutil.PreferencesEditorDialog.html#fop_preferences
3) XMLmind XSL Utility creates a user preferences directory which
contains among other things a configuration file for Apache FOP.
This user preferences directory is:
* $HOME/.xfc/ on Linux.
* $HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/FOConverter/ on the Mac.
* %APPDATA%\XMLmind\FOConverter\ on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application
Data\XMLmind\FOConverter\ on Windows XP.
C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\FOConverter\ on Windows Vista, 7
and 8.
4) Restart XMLmind XSL Utility and test what you have done by converting
say a XSL-FO file to PDF using XMLmind XSL Utility.
5) If the test was successful, point parameter customizeDir to this user
preferences directory.
This can be done either by modifying the web.xml file by hand or if you
use the bundled Jetty Servlet Container, by running controlapp
(http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslsrv/doc/manual/deploy1.html).
This customization method is documented here:
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslsrv/doc/manual/configuring_intro.html
Please carefully read this part of "XMLmind XSL Server - Manual".
--> Note that the above font mappings applies only to the PDF output
format and to Apache FOP. If your question was about the Office output
formats and XMLmind XSL-FO Converter, then please send us another
support request. (Same approach; different customization from within
XMLmind XSL Utility).
