Reading Fonts with XMLGraphics or FOP?

[Dieter <di...@chartle.net>]

Hi,

Java AWT has the Font class and a couple of native ties to load fonts
and generate a Font object. I wonder if XMLGraphics or FOP has its own
infrastructure for reading Fonts (maybe without those native ties)
that results in the same Font object.

Cheers,
Dieter

No. None are used. Font files are opened and read as a binary data stream
using standard java.io functionality.

Thanks. FOP is 100% Java without native bindings, right? I was
wondering if in the Font loading process and creation of
org.apache.fop.fonts.Font any native methods from the JRE are used?

Cheers,
Dieter

Sorry to be late on this, but what Glenn said is true for the most
part. FOP does delegate SVG font handling to Batik, which does use AWT
classes for processing fonts. The disparity here is something I am
hoping we will address.

FOP reads native fonts directly, but does not create java.awt.Font as a
result; rather, it creates instances of org.apache.fop.fonts.Font, an
instance of which internally holds a reference to an object implementing
org.apache.fop.fonts.FontMetrics, the latter holding most of the information
parsed from the native font file.
