Embedding fonts using fo2pdf serializer

["Westemeyer, Sebastian, VF-DE" <Se...@vodafone.com>]

Hi all!

I am working on an XSLT conversion to FO and a serialisation into PDF using the fo2pdf serializer. Now I have tried following the description on cocoon.apache.org to embed a simple Helvetica type of font into my document. By now I believe I have read everything there is on the web about the topic, probably it's only me being thick.

After extracting xml files from my TTFs, I tried a userconfig.xml which I pasted to the end of this mail.

My sitemap.xmap contains the following lines:
<map:serialize type="fo2pdf">
 <user-config>file:///f:/Projekte/095.115 IR-DB/cocoon-2.1.5.1/build/webapp/ir-db/resources/fop/fop-userconfig.xml</user-config>
</map:serialize>

I am getting loads of error messages like this one:

ERROR   2004-10-07 16:24:56.926 [sitemap.] (): unknown font hn-lc,normal,normal so defaulted font to any

The result is a PDF that sadly defaults to Times New Roman, despite all my efforts. I suspect that it has something to do with the config file, as the transformation works fine as long as I use FOP directly instead of cocoons (by the way: version 2.1) fo2pdf in the pipeline...

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
 Sebastian

Note that metrics-file is an URL, not a file. Try prepending
"file:///". Probably the standalone FOP uses a different XML
parser which falls back to interpreting the string as pathname
if it gets an "invalid protocol scheme" exception.
