FOP Default Fonts
Hi,
>From the FOP documentation, I know there are the Base-14 Fonts which are
available for PDF output. Is there a way in Java to get this list of fonts
(font-family, font-weight & font-style)? I've scoured through the FOP
Javadoc but can't seem to locate any method such as 'String[]
getAvailableFontNames()'.
I want to have a print options dialog in my application and would like it to
dynamically show available fonts from FOP rather than hard-coding a list.
Thanks in advance,
Bernmeister.

I don't think there is a method on FOP or Java that you can call to get
a list of the Base 14 Fonts. Base 14 Fonts are an Adobe concept not a
Java or FOP specific thing.
My advice is to hard code the list, as they don't change:
Times
Times Bold
Times Italic
Times Bold Italic
Helvetica
Helvetica Bold
Helvetica Italic
Helvetica Bold Italic
Courier
Courier Bold
Courier Italic
Courier Bold Italic
Symbol
ZapfDingbats

I've just finished cleaning up the code and transformed it into an
easy-to-use command-line tool. I've also refactored it so you can easily
use the font list generation from your Java code (check out the
FontListGenerator class).
See here:

As Chris already noted, there's currently no such simple method to do
this. But I have some code locally that does something similar
(generating a PDF with all the configured fonts). But I have to clean up
the code before I can publish it. I hope I have time for this during the
weekend.
