I used your example to send the form directly to the printer. I checked out
FOP Trunk and build the fop.jar which I used for my test. It works with the
minor issue of the font, which I can't figure out how to fix. The form uses
Arial font with bold, normal, and italic style, but when it is sent directly
to the printer, all the information on the form is printed in what looks
like Arial Bold Italic. When I debugged the code, I saw that after
transform() method is completed, PageableRenderer -> FontInfo -> usedFonts
has these values key = "F28" value = "Arial Negreta cursiva".
Here is the code:
FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
FOUserAgent userAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
userAgent.setFontBaseURL(fontDir);
PageableRenderer renderer = new PageableRenderer();
renderer.setUserAgent(userAgent);
userAgent.setRendererOverride(renderer);
Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(userAgent);
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(); // identity transformer
Source src = new StreamSource(fo);
Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
transformer.transform(src, res);
Is there a way to define the fonts for the PageableRenderer in the
fop-config.xml or in any other way?

I'm not aware of any problems in that area. FOP should pick up
automatically all fonts installed in your operating system for direct
print. You say you found "Arial Negreta cursiva" in the used fonts. How
do you specify the fonts in FO? Do you use the localized font names?
That could explain the problems as we're currently guessing "bold" and
"italic" font variants by the English tags. "Negreta" and "cursiva" will
probably not be recognized as font style modifiers. So basically, your
question is the right one: How to configure fonts?
Basically the same way as for the other output formats. See:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html#basics
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html#register
You just need to add a <fonts> tag with the right children under the
section for the "application/X-fop-print" renderer. Something like this:
<fop>
[..]
<renderers>
[..]
<renderer mime="application/X-fop-print">
<fonts>
<directory recursive="true">D:/Install/fonts/dejavu-ttf-2.5</directory>
<font embed-url="test\resources\fonts\glb12.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Gladiator" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
</fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>
Note: I haven't tested this. And the fonts will most probably be
registered under their English names unless you use the <font> tag as
shown above where you can specify the font names yourself.
