distributing fonts with web application

[Martin Norbäck Olivers <ma...@soleilit.se>]

Hi,
We're making a web application that includes fop and we would like to distribute fonts to be used by fop.
I've configured the following in config.xml to be able to use our fonts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fop version="1.0">
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>
<directory>WEB-INF/xsl-fo/fonts</directory>
</fonts>
<auto-detect/>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>

But anything but an absolute path in <directory> does not work. It seems that FOP is not able to get fonts from a relative path with the <directory> directive.
It does not use the baseURL or fontManager.fontBaseURL.

Since I don't know which path the application will be deployed to I'm wondering if anybody has a solution to this. I can't modify the path manually after deployment, and installing the fonts on the server separately from the web application is not a good option either.

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Hi,

I was have the same problem and my solution is:
The web application modifiers the config file's all directory node's 
value to the correct path getting from system before start one FOP job.
I don't use FOP too much times per hour.

Bye, Csaba
