Error while creating metric file
Hi,
I am using fop-0.20.5.
I need to create a metric file for Webdings, OCR font and Symbol. But I
get the following error:
Reading C:\WINNT\Fonts\Symbol.ttf...
Number of glyphs in font: 192
Unicode cmap table not present
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0
at java.util.ArrayList.RangeCheck(ArrayList.java:507)
at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:324)
at org.apache.fop.fonts.TTFFile.createCMaps(TTFFile.java:449)
at org.apache.fop.fonts.TTFFile.readFont(TTFFile.java:439)
at
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader.loadTTF(TTFReader.java:222)
at org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader.main(TTFReader.java:184)
I saw a similar post but the solution was not provided.
How can I write the metric file? I am using 1.4.2_03 version of Java.
My aim is to convert an fo file to pdf. This uses Symbol and OCR font.
Is there any way these fonts can be included or do we have any
restrictions while using FOP?
Thanks and Regards,
Archana V

Are you sure that FOP picks up your userconfig.xml (-c on the
command-line)? If I use your triplet for the OCR font with one of my
fonts, it works fine.

You register the font as "PrecisionIDOCRB1DEMO" in the configuration but
refer to it as "PrecisionID OCR B1 DEMO" in XSL-FO. Notice the spaces!

I guess it should be possible to add cmap tables with a font editor, but
I've never done this. The other option is to improve FOP to handle
TrueType fonts without a cmap table. I can't imagine that it's difficult,
it's just that somebody has to sit down and take it on.

Thank you Jeremi.
I was using that logo as an image with a very high resolution. Let me try it
out with svg.
Is there any way to add a cmap table in these kind of fonts? Because i still
have a whole set of fonts which has the same problem. My FOP version is
'0.20.5'.

He probably generated it like any other font.

TTFReader cannot process every TrueType font. I assume you get an error
message about a missing "cmap table". BTW, it's always a good idea to
say which FOP version you use and what exactly the error messages are.
I assume you're using a custom-built font (since it's producing a logo)
and that's why the "cmap" table is not available. You're out of luck
with FOP to process this font for now. I suggest you use a painting
program (like CorelDraw or Illustrator) to paint the logos contained in
the font and export each as an SVG graphic (with text converted to
shapes).

Archna,
I would like to know how you generated the metrics file for that OCR font.
I've a font that generates a logo which says it's a TrueType font, but
complains while generating metrics file using TTFReader.
Suggestion would be appreciated.
Sus

Re: Error while creating metric file

Indeed, Windows' Webdings and Symbol TrueType fonts cannot be processed
by TTFReader and can therefore not be used with FOP at the moment. For
the Symbol font this is not tragic because the Symbol font is one of the
base14 fonts which are simply available in FOP. For the other fonts,
this is a problem. In the last few months a number of people have
reported problems with certain fonts. One would hope that the itch to
make these fonts work would at some point be enough to get someone to
look into the problem. Patches are always welcome. Otherwise, you'll
have to live with these restrictions.
Alternatives are to find other fonts, possibly in Type 1 format, or to
use SVG graphics instead of the Webdings fonts, for example.
