Font Symbol
I've found a weird bug...
When i use the font "Symbol" (which is built it), all works well... except
if i try to use the "font-style='italic'" with it... it gives an error:
missing font (or something like that): 'Symbol, italic, 400' replacing with
default (or something like that).
Can others replicate the problem? (i sorted it out by forcing all symbols to
be "normal" but i think this should be sorted out)
Cheers
LF
P.S.- The more i know of FOP, the greater my admiration and respect for all
the hard work put into it... you guys certainly did (and are doing) a great
work!

Setting configuration of fonts in java code?
Posted by Peter Neu <pe...@gmx.net>.
Hello,
is it possible to set configuration details for custom fonts in the java
code?
On a win box userconfig.xml looks like this:
<font metrics-file="C:/lib/ttfcm.xml" kerning="no"
embed-file="c:/lib/verdana.ttf">
.....
On a linux box userconfig.xml looks like this:
<font metrics-file="/usr/local/fonts/ttfcm.xml" kerning="no"
embed-file="/usr/local/fonts/verdana.ttf">
.....
Is there a way to avoid this by doing it the execution code with an os test?
Cheers,
Pete

Thanks Andreas - I'm happy with that :)

For me is perfect, because this way we know what was used in each time a font
isn't found.
Gratz,

A little later than promised, but here goes:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=438251&view=rev
As Chris suggested, the notifyFontReplacement() method has been
altered to show which triplet will be used instead.
Note: I'm not sure if this suffices. If the default is used, the
message will now read
"... replacing with 'any,normal,400'." Is that enough?
Later,
Andreas

Well, it depends. :-) You could also say that you want to find a similar
font (PANOSE matching [1] which we don't have) but in the same variant,
i.e. italic in this case. It really depends what is more important to
you: that the font is similar but italic or that it's the same font but
you fall back to non-italic. That said, I'm ok with the change. It's
just that the decision should not be done just so.

This change sounds like a good idea. If you decide to do it make sure
you update the message "replacing with default font" to reflect exactly
which font was used instead.

It seams so... some symbols which doesn't exist in normal fonts (weird
unicodes to start with) just disapear from the text and are replaced with a
"#"... After i switched the italic to normal, the characters reapeared.
(this is in the somewhat new thrunk-svn of the start of August)
This didn't happened in the older version...

Seems correct more or less, but now that you mention it: it does
switch the whole font, right? While it is actually only the font-
style component that makes it impossible to locate the font.
It doesn't seem too difficult to alter FontInfo.java to make it first
look for a font with the same name/weight, but with default font-style.
Anyway, I'll give other devs a chance to chime in before I start
fiddling with it. If no objections arise, I'll probably commit this
small change during the weekend.
Cheers,
Andreas

Symbol, Normal is one of the built in 14 fonts.
Symbol, Italic is not!
Roughly list of 14 built in fonts is:
Times, Normal, Normal
Times, Bold, Normal
Times, Normal, Italic
Times, Bold, Italic
Helvetica, Normal, Normal
Helvetica, Bold, Normal
Helvetica, Normal, Italic
Helvetica, Bold, Italic
Courier, Normal, Normal
Courier, Bold, Normal
Courier, Normal, Italic
Courier, Bold, Italic
Symbol, Normal, Normal
ZapfDingbats, Normal, Normal
