Trying to use font Quicksand
Dear all,
I am trying to use the font Quicksand (
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/quicksand) with fop. This is an opentype
font. I am generating PDF. I installed the font on Windows. When I use
cygwin and list the files in the Windows/Fonts directory it lists
"Quicksand_Dash.otf Quicksand-Bold.otf Quicksand-BoldItalic.otf
Quicksand-Italic.otf Quicksand-Light.otf Quicksand-LightItalic.otf
Quicksand-Regular.otf". When I go to the directory with Windows Explorer it
shows files "Quicksand" and "Quicksand Dash Extra Light". I can choose the
font Qiucksand in Word and this works. In my fo file I also try to use this
font by doing font-family="Quicksand". This, however, does not work.
Instead Times is displayed. When I run fop from the command line by running
"fop.bat <infile> <outfile>", I see the warning "WARNING: Font
"Quicksand,normal,400" not found. Substituting with "any,normal,400". The
page https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.1/fonts.html suggests that this
should work out of the box. Am I missing something?
Have a nice day,
Chris

Hi Chris,
In order to use custom fonts in FOP you need to add them into the
fop.xconf file. You can add the auto-detect element as mentioned below
but it is recommended that you configure each font you require
individually within the fop.xconf file. This allow you to use the name
you prefer (autodetect can sometime use unexpected names), and avoids
importing every font from the Operating System. See [1] for further details
Thanks
Chris

Hi,
You need configure the fop for your output renderer to <auto-detect/>
mode. See FOP Configuration on the web.
