issues with TTFReader
Hi,
I need to deliver PDF for all European languages using FOP (preferably)
I am testing on a windows machine, the eventual operation will be on
a Sun Solaris 10 machine.
And I have a bunch of questions
1. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a font that covers all
the characters I will need. Currently I think that Arial Unicode MS
would suite best
I appreciate suggestions for alternatives
2. I am trying to use TTFReader to generate the XML font metrics.
That doesn't seem to work
This is my command-line
java -cp
D:\XML\XSLFO\FOP\fop-0.95\build\fop.jar;D:\XML\XSLFO\FOP\fop-0.95\lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;D:\XML\XSLFO\FOP\fop-0.95\lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;D:\XML\XSLFO\FOP\fop-0.95\lib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader C:\Windows\Fonts\ARIALUNI.TTF arialuni.xml
This is the error message I get
Parsing font...
Reading C:\Windows\Fonts\ARIALUNI.TTF...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

... 4 more
Someone out there who can interprete this and give me advice on what is wrong?
3. Can I then use the .ttf and the font metrics on the solaris
machine, or do I need to find an alternative font an do some similar
actions again?
Are font metric files interchangeable? If someone generated the
metrics file for me, could I just reuse it... If yes, is there
somewhere a library of metrics files then?
Thansk for all the help you could give me

Unless you explicitely state differently,
fonts will be embedded
(others can correct me if I am wrong)
It is IMHO the best approach, since it makes your "Portable Document
Format" really Portable
So yes, any PDF created that way can be viewed on any platform, as
long as there is a PDF viewer available

Re: issues with TTFReader

hi Geert,
I read through your mail chain and was able to find the mistake i was
making.
It was in the triplet naming.
I corrected it and was able to embed the font correctly.
One query, if once my pdf is generated with the embeded fonts, then if it is
viewed in any system it would be shown correctly??
I mean no need to have the fonts installed in the client machines.I tried to
verify it myself by checking the pdf in different machinw where the
ArialUni.ttf font(Which i have used for embedding to support chinese ) and i
was able to view the pdf correctly. Also in the pdf properties i can see the
font been shown as embedded. Please correct me if m wrong.
Thanks Greet for replying.
Best Regards
Sumit

I use the command line option
-c path\fop.xconf
don't know how to do that from java.
I assume it is a property in the api?

mmh, still not there yet
This is what I did in the configuration file
<font kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///f:/***/fonts/DejaVuSerif.ttf">
<font-triplet
name="DejaVuSerif" style="normal" weight="400" />
</font>
<font kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///f:/***/fonts/DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf">
<font-triplet
name="DejaVuSerif" style="normal" weight="700" />
</font>
And I get this error,
8-mei-2009 14:22:23 org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement
WARNING: Font 'DejaVuSerif,normal,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,
400'.
8-mei-2009 14:22:23 org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement
WARNING: Font 'DejaVuSerif,normal,700' not found. Substituting with

so or I make an error, or it is not using the configuration

Yes add a font element into fop.xconf below the PDF Renderer, an example
for Lucide Console:
<font kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///c:/windows/fonts/lucon.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Lucida Console" style="normal" weight="normal"/>

The 3 steps you've outlined above are a good summary of the steps

Linux-based distributions provide a lot of fonts with varying coverage
of the Unicode standard. I can think of two of them, DejaVu and
FreeFont, but there are probably others.
http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/
There are also the STIX fonts:
http://www.aip.org/stixfonts/
All those fonts should have a more permissive license than Arial Unicode
MS, and provide a good coverage of all European languages.

Re: bug in marker processing?
Posted by Geert Bormans <ge...@gbormans.telenet.be>.
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your answer.
I am happy this is a recognised bug, so I don't need to look further.
I can't use trunk, since I need to install this with a customer,
and "trunk" is not considered "stabile"
I will try your suggestion of making the marker not empty but invisible.
Thank you very much for that suggestion
cheers

Is indeed a bug in 0.95 or earlier.
Try FOP Trunk if you can. There was an issue with empty markers, but
that has been fixed in the meantime.
Also, making the marker contain an invisible character (ZWSP) should
be enough to sidestep the issue.
HTH!

bug in marker processing?
Posted by Geert Bormans <ge...@gbormans.telenet.be>.
Dear all,
I have hit something that seems to me a bug in FOP.
Is this a known bug?
And if yes, is there a known workaround?
I am listing columns with dictionary terms.
Terms can have long descriptions.
If a term continues to the next page, I need to add an arrow in the footer
This is my region after
<fo:static-content flow-name="mt-region-after">
<fo:block font-size="8pt" text-align-last="justify">
<fo:leader leader-pattern="space"/>
<fo:page-number/>
<fo:leader leader-pattern="space"/>
<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="right-arrow"
retrieve-position="last-starting-within-page"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
This is an excerpt of a term
<fo:block padding-bottom="2mm">
<fo:block>
<fo:inline font-size="8pt" font-weight="bold">my
little term</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
<fo:block keep-with-previous="always">
<fo:marker marker-class-name="this-term">my little
term</fo:marker>
<fo:marker marker-class-name="right-arrow">?</fo:marker>
</fo:block>
<fo:list-block margin-left="3mm" space-before="0pt"
space-after="0pt">
<fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item-label>
<fo:block line-height="1.0">
<fo:inline font-size="8pt">AA</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="10mm">
<fo:block line-height="1.0">
<fo:inline font-size="8pt"
font-style="italic">aaaaa</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>
</fo:list-block>
<fo:list-block margin-left="3mm" space-before="0pt"
space-after="0pt">
<fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item-label>
<fo:block line-height="1.0">
<fo:inline font-size="8pt">BB</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="10mm">
<fo:block line-height="1.0">
<fo:inline font-size="8pt">bbbbbbbbb</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>
</fo:list-block>
<fo:block keep-with-previous="always">
<fo:marker marker-class-name="right-arrow"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
In my opinion, I make the marker empty when a term ends on a page
(see the keep-with-previous)
In Antenna House, this works.
In FOP, I get the arrows, always, which seems wrong to me.
any suggestions?
Thanks
Geert

Thanks Justus,
I went for DejaVu Serif, but I am not so fond (font?) of it, since
that is a pretty wide font.
I have a three column layout with sometimes long words and the page
view is not that nice with DejaVu.
As long as I did not find a better alternative, it suits my requirements
In my search of alternatives, I looked after your suggestions, and I
have some comments on that
STIX is still in Beta, so I can't sell it to my customer as a production font
Gentium does support some Greek and Cyrillic, but too little Cyrillic
for my purposes (and the Cyrillic also is documented as 'in beta')
I also did not find "bold" and "bold italic" fonts in the package
So, my hunt for better is still open
cheers
Geert

How about STIX or Gentium? Both are serif fonts though.

AW: issues with TTFReader
Posted by Georg Datterl <ge...@geneon.de>.
Hi Geert,
One word of warning: Using ArialUnicodeMS gives you only plain characters, no bold, no italics. If you find a font containing all Unicode characters (esp. chinese, japanese, korean) in bold, please drop me a line.

Arial Unicode MS does indeed have a good coverage of glyphs for most
languages. I can't immediately think of any alternatives. You may find
you are breaching the license of that font if you are planning on using
it on a Solaris system however, as I believe it is included with MS
Office. So technically you would need a license for MS Office for your
Solaris environment in order to be able to use the font there.

In FOP v0.95 and later you don't need to generate Font metrics. In fact
it is recommended that you don't generate the metrics as FOP is far more
intelligent about how it reads the Font when not using metrics in the
latest versions.

The error is a classpath error. Basically you are missing
xmlgraphics-commons-1.3.jar from the classpath above.

As already mentioned you don't need the metrics file at all. Copying the
TTF to the Solaris machine will work but I believe you may be breaching
the terms of the MS Office license, although IANAL.

Yes you could but as I already explained they are no longer necessary.
So no, there is no library of metrics available.
