           Summary: FOP Custom Font Embedding problem
           Product: Fop
           Version: 0.93
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: fonts
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
        ReportedBy: russ.taylor@nifty.com
                CC: russ.taylor@nifty.com


I have been trying to get Japanese fonts to display in a PDF generated with FOP
0.93 for almost 24 hours straight.  I have followed the instructions to the
letter, and I had a working version previously in FOP 0.20.5 a couple years ago,
I can't find my old code now.

After trying every possible iteration I could possibly come up with, I have
determined it must be a problem in FOP 0.93.

I built the metrics file with the included TTFReader using the exact command on
the FOP Fonts website, for TTFReader -ttcname "MS Mincho" msmincho.ttc
msmincho.xml  The file is created fine.

I tried to add the <font> tags in the fop.xconf file, and I tried to add it
,separately to a userconfig.xml file.  Neither way worked.

I ran FOP from the command line using...  java org.apache.fop.cli.Main -d -c
userconfig.xml temp.xml out.pdf  the PDF is created, the English text is fine,
but the Japanese text, which is in <block> elements with font-family="MSMincho"
set...  only show as pound signs, #.

I have tried, as I said, every iteration I could think of to tweak the situation
but FOP just complains, it can't find the font "MSMincho, normal, 400" and
replaces it with "any, normal, 400"

If this is user error, I apologize.

Hi,

This is indeed more a question that belongs on fop-users@... but no bad this once, just try to keep it in
mind for the future. Thanks!

OK, as to your particular problem:
Have you taken into account that the <fonts> elements in the userconfig in 0.93 must be specified as
child of the <renderer>? (should be visible in the example fop.xconf)
Are you using absolute or relative URIs for the metrics-url/embed-url? If they're relative, you can add a
<font-base> element to the configuration file to specify the base-url to which relative urls should be
appended before resolving.

I'm closing this bug, and marking it as invalid. Please post any follow-up to fop-users@. Thanks!

Forget it, I seem to have come across the solution just moments after I logged
the bug.

Though I am not sure what I did differently yet.
