DO NOT REPLY [Bug 52289] New: Condensed font selection and
identification
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52289
Bug #: 52289
Summary: Condensed font selection and identification
Product: Fop
Version: 1.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: fonts
AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
ReportedBy: ringerc@ringerc.id.au
Classification: Unclassified

Fop font loading log
Fop appears to be misclassifying the font faces I have.
I'm loading the fonts by having fop scan the directory they're in using the
<fonts><directory> config param and it's finding them fine. However, Fop
doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between the condensed and
non-condensed faces of these fonts. It also seems to think they all have the
same weight (400) as per the log excerpts below.
Here's an excerpt of the log output from fop where it detects the fonts. The
full log is at http://pastebin.com/91u9bW10 . You can see that it seems unable
to distinguish the weights or how condensed they are:
Registering: HelveticaNeueLT Std Cn,normal,400 under F17
HelveticaNeueLT Std Cn,normal,400: Replacing HelveticaNeueLTStd-BdCn
(priority=23) by HelveticaNeueLTStd-Cn (priority=21)
Registering: HelveticaNeueLTStd-BlkCn,normal,400 under F18
Registering: Helvetica Neue LT Std,normal,400 under F18
Helvetica Neue LT Std,normal,400: Not replacing HelveticaNeueLTStd-Cn
(priority=21) by HelveticaNeueLTStd-BlkCn (priority=24)
Registering: HelveticaNeueLT Std Blk Cn,normal,400 under F18
By contrast, fontconfig identifies them as I'd expect:
$ fc-list | grep Neue
Helvetica Neue LT Std:style=55 Roman,Regular
Helvetica Neue LT Std,HelveticaNeueLT Std Cn:style=57 Condensed,Regular
Helvetica Neue LT Std,HelveticaNeueLT Std Blk Cn:style=97 Black
Condensed,Regular
Helvetica Neue LT Std,HelveticaNeueLT Std Cn:style=77 Bold Condensed,Bold
These were originally OpenType fonts with CFF outlines; they were converted to
TrueType using FontForge. They behave as expected with other tools including
FontConfig and can be used normally in apps.
As these are commercial fonts I can't attach them to this bug report directly,
but I can lend them to anyone who needs them for testing purposes *only*. You
know how it is with font foundries.

It looks like the DejaVu fonts work better, but still not quite right:
15:09:30,926 FINE [org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo] (pool-8-thread-1) DejaVu
Sans,italic,700: Replacing DejaVu Sans Condensed Bold Oblique (priority=23) by

Serif,normal,700: Not replacing DejaVu Serif Bold (priority=5) by DejaVu Serif
Condensed Bold (priority=15)
That said, the DejaVu fonts contain detailed face names, so fop registers them
with the full face name as an alternate family name, eg
DejaVuSerifCondensed-Bold is registered as
"DejaVuSerifCondensed-Bold,normal,400". This font can be selected by full name,
providing a workaround for the lack of font-stretch without requiring manual
registration of fonts. It's a bit of a hack and doesn't permit you to do things
like say "I want Helvetica Condensed" then apply selective bold/italic styling
and have the right face picked, though; you always have to specify the full
explicit font name.

not a bug; use font configuration features to select desired font

This looks like it might be partly by design.
It seems fop registers a font more than once. It'll register the "most
preferred" face for a family under the general family name, but it'll also
always register each exact face under:
font-family="TheExactFaceName" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal"
so eg if you have MyriadPro-BlackIt.ttf (with the same face name as the file
name, sans extension) fop will register something like:
font-family="MyriadPro" font-style="italic" font-weight="900"
font-family="MyriadPro-BlackIt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal"
I was only seeing the exact-face-name registrations, which are very confusing.
There is a legitimate bug here, in that fop will always prefer a non-condensed
face to a condensed face when registering for a (family,weight,slant) tuple, so
there's no way to select how condensed you want a font based on
(family,weight,slant,condensed), you have to specify the exact face name as
illustrated in bug #52290 . That's more of a feature request than a bug, though
- a way for fop to store and record information about how condensed a font is.

See also https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52290, which
relates to misclassification of some condensed faces. Since fop seems to be
having trouble detecting the font weights too, this might not really be
related, but it's worth seeing.
