.ttc fonts with version 0.95 (no metric files?)
Hello,
until now I used the FOP renderer without creating a metric file, just with
.ttf files. Now I have to use .ttc files as well, and I wonder, whether
these work like the .ttf files.
- When I just inserted them in the config and my XSL-FO file, they did not
work.
- Trying to create a metric file (with -ttcname) did not work, but I will
ask at another helpful place for this.
Question: Can I use .tcc fonts without creating a metric file, and what do I
have to do to get it working?
Thanks!
Maria

TTFReader is part of FOP so you can also just ask here for stuff like
this. Looking at your shell script, I'm not exactly sure if that could
be it but please try without the quotes around "HGPMinchoB". It could be
that those quotes make it into FOP and cause a problem there.
export CMD='java -cp lib/fop.jar:lib/avalon-framework-
4.2.0.jar:lib/xercesImpl.jar:lib/xalan.jar:lib/commons-io-1.3.1.jar
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -ttcname HGPMinchoB'

the problem is my lack of study. I use the oXygen Editor to develop my own
framework, this is where I have to use a shell script, but I did not find
out where to write the -ttcname part:
****shell script*****
#!/bin/sh
export CMD='java -cp lib/fop.jar:lib/avalon-framework-
4.2.0.jar:lib/xercesImpl.jar:lib/xalan.jar:lib/commons-io-1.3.1.jar
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -ttcname "HGPMinchoB"'
export FONT=/Library/Fonts/HGRMB.TTC
$CMD $FONT HGPMinchoB.xml
*********
****terminal reaction*****
mbp:oXygen ms$ sh ttfConvert.sh
TTF Reader for Apache FOP 0.95
Parsing font...
Reading /Library/Fonts/HGRMB.TTC...
This is a TrueType collection file with 3 fonts
Containing the following fonts:
HGMinchoB
HGPMinchoB
HGSMinchoB
Error while building XML font metrics file.
java.io.IOException: Name does not exist in the TrueType collection:
"HGPMinchoB"

The oXygen staff helps me wherever I cannot find a solution, so I asked them
where to put the -ttcname part, but expect the answer not before monday.
I really have to apologize, I am an archaeologist, and there is a lot to
learn, sometimes I do not find the right starting point. So I will check the
links you sent me:

Maria,
what exactly didn't work creating the metric files for a TTC?
To your question: no, I don't think TTCs will work without XML font
metrics in FOP 0.95.
Please take a look at: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/changes.html#Changes+to+the+Font+Subsystem
There have been a number of improvements on font support, namely also an
improvement for TTCs concerning auto-detection, in FOP Trunk. When
configuring a single sub-font of a TTC, Trunk also contains an
improvement:

(see the "sub-font" attribute on <font>)
