FOP font customisation -> SVG

[Ryan Lortie <de...@desrt.ca>]

Hi Again


I'm currently using a FOP config file to customise font settings for
rendering my document.  I'm specifying alternate fonts to use for all of
the serif, sans, monospace and Symbol font names.

My document also includes SVG content (embedded inline in the FO input
file).  The SVG contains <text> tags.

The problem is that the font configuration is not applying to the text
contained within the SVG files.  I understand that Batik is used to
render the SVG parts and I guess it's not getting its configuration from
FOP properly.

Is there some way I can have FOP forward this information to Batik?

Cheers

Unfortunately, Batik and FOP use different infrastructure to handle
fonts. Batik heavily relies on what AWT/Java2D provides in terms of
fonts. FOP, on the other hand, has its own font subsystem.

For FOP 0.95 we've invested quite some time to make font auto-detection
in FOP provide the same fonts as AWT/Java2D provides them. But the other
way around is much difficult and would require extensive changes in
Batik, I think.

I suggest you investigate possibilities to change the font-families from
"serif" or "sans" to other font-families before running the document
through FOP.
