Embedding Fonts
Hello. I am embedding fonts in my PDF and it seems to be working. However, it
only works the second time I call my servlet and subsequet times. Has
anyone seen this behaviour before or know the cause of such a behaviour? The
servlet is runing on BEA Weblogic v8.1 on a Windows XP desktop. FOP version
is 0.94
Thanks
John

Yes. You might also want to look at our demo servlet:

This was the issue. I am now instantiating the FopFactory in the init()
method of the servlet as well as setting the configuration there as well. Is
this considered best practices for using Fop in a servlet?

Sounds as if the configuration isn't set soon enough. Please make sure
you instantiate the FopFactory at servlet startup and that you also set
the configuration on the FopFactory at this time. Then, each time the
servlet is called, just create a new Fop instance using that factory.
Without seeing your servlet code it's difficult to pinpoint. The above
is just wild guessing.
At any rate, it should not be necessary to run FOP twice just to get the
fonts embedded. That would be very bad.

Sorry for not being clear in my first post. What I mean to say is that the
very first time it is called, the fonts I have embedded (CenturySchoolbook
and Arial) do not show up in the generated PDF. Instead, the default font
shows up. However, the second time I call the servlet, the correct font does
show up. These error messages are being generated:
WARNING: Font 'CenturySchoolbook,normal,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,400'.
Aug 5, 2008 4:55:30 PM org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement
WARNING: Font 'CenturySchoolbook,normal,700' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,700'.
Aug 6, 2008 9:09:31 AM org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement
WARNING: Font 'Arial,normal,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,400'.
I have tried with Firefox and IE - the behaviour is the same. The only
solution I have found is to call the code (in the servlet) that generates
the PDF twice; the first time using
org.apache.commons.io.output.NullOutputStream() and the second time sending
the output to the browser. While this solution works, I'd like to figure out
why this behaviour is occuring.
Thanks,
John

I'm not aware of such problems. When FOP is run from the command-line,
it just runs once and there are no such problems. The way FOP is called
is quite similar to when it's embedded in a servlet. But then, what does
"it only works the second time" mean? Are there error messages the first
time? If yes, which? Have you tried with different browsers?
My gut feeling is that you've either got a problem in your servlet code
or a communication problem between the browser and the servlet. Please
make sure you've read the tips on this page:
