how to embed a font programatically

[Stefan Burkard <ne...@burknet.ch>]

hi fop-users

i know i can use a custom font by building an xml-file with it's 
kerning-values and configuring a font definition in the user-config-file.

but how can i include the font programatically? i don't like to have a 
user-config-file at all. i found examples to set the font-directory or 
base-directory programatically, but i didn't found an example for 
configuring fonts directly in java.

can anybody help me?
thanks
stefan

Looking at the source code, you'd need to do the following:
- Subclass the Renderer implementation (ex. PDFRenderer) so you gain
access to the protected fontList member variable.
- Fill the fontList variable much like
FontSetup.buildFontListFromConfiguration() does. This code will need to
run before you start the rendering run or at least before
PrintRenderer.setupFontInfo() is called.
- Instantiate your subclassed Renderer yourself and set it on the
FOUserAgent using setRendererOverride().

Have fun!

Hi Stefan

I'm using my own fonts and the userconfig file. All fonts, metrics and configuration are stored in my web application. The bug with the 
base URL is solved in svn trunk. The application works just fine.

Unfortunately I can't help you with with the configuration of fonts.

Cheers
Uwe
