Font auto detection combined with font aliases
Hallo,
I have a little problem with the Windows font "Times New Roman". The Word2FO
stylesheet from RenderX does a normalization of font family names, resulting
in "TimesNewRoman" (without spaces) in the XSL-FO which FOP fails to resolve
using its font auto detection feature.
When using the old style font metrics settings in FOP configuration it
was/is possible to set font family name aliases. Can someone confirm that
it's not possible to use a combination of auto detection and font aliases
without providing any metrics configuration.
Here is the relevant part of my fop.xconf:
<fop version="1.0">
<!-- Base URL for resolving relative URLs -->
<!--base>.</base-->
<!-- Source resolution in dpi (dots/pixels per inch) for determining the
size of pixels in SVG and bitmap images, default: 72dpi -->
<source-resolution>72</source-resolution>
<!-- Target resolution in dpi (dots/pixels per inch) for specifying the
target resolution for generated bitmaps, default: 72dpi -->
<target-resolution>200</target-resolution>
<!-- Default page-height and page-width, in case
value is specified as auto -->
<default-page-settings height="297mm" width="210mm"/>
<!-- Information for specific renderers -->
<!-- Uses renderer mime type for renderers -->
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<filterList>
<!-- provides compression using zlib flate (default is on) -->
<value>flate</value>
</filterList>
<fonts>
<!-- embedded fonts -->
<auto-detect/>
</fonts>
</renderer>
<renderer mime="image/tiff">
<transparent-page-background>true</transparent-page-background>
<compression>CCITT T.4</compression>
<fonts>
<auto-detect/>
</fonts>
</renderer>
...
</fop>
Regards, Ingo

Works great, at least it fixes my TimesNewRoman font problem.
Thanks Jeremias!

A font substitution facility to handle this requirement has recently
been added to FOP Trunk. I've just updated the website but it will take
a few hours until the web server is synchronized. So I'll just paste the
documentation here for your convenience:
Substitution
When a <substitutions/> section is defined in the configuration, FOP
will re-map any font-family references found in your FO input to a given
substitution font.
* If a <substitution/> is declared, it is mandatory that both a
<from/> and <to/> child element is declared with a font-family
attribute.
* Both font-weight and font-style are optional attributes, if they
are provided then a value of 'normal' is assumed.
For example you could make all FO font-family references to 'Arial' with
weights between 700 and 900 reference the normal 'Arial Black' font.
<fop version="1.0">
<fonts>
<substitutions>
<substitution>
<from font-family="Arial" font-weight="700..900"/>
<to font-family="Arial Black"/>
</substitution>
<substitution>
<from font-family="FrutigerLight"/>
<to font-family="Times" font-weight="bold" font-style="italic"/>
</substitution>
</substitutions>
</fonts>
</fop>
This will pop up here later:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html
Feedback is welcome as it's a new feature!

FWIW, you can still use the old style configuration without providing
the XML metrics files. For the Times New Roman font you would do
something like this:
<font embed-url="path/to/TimesNewRoman.ttf">
<font-triplet name="TimesNewRoman" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
<font embed-url="path/to/TimesNewRoman-Italic.ttf">
<font-triplet name="TimesNewRoman" style="italic" weight="normal"/>
</font>
<font embed-url="path/to/TimesNewRoman-Bold.ttf">
<font-triplet name="TimesNewRoman" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
</font>
<font embed-url="path/to/TimesNewRoman-BoldItalic.ttf">
<font-triplet name="TimesNewRoman" style="italic" weight="bold"/>
</font>
This method will also work with versions 0.94 and 0.95.
HTH,
Vincent
