fop 0.95 & SVG & PDF & font embedding

[Klaus Malorny <Kl...@knipp.de>]

Hi,

sorry if this is a FAQ, but I did my homework and did not find any satisfying 
answer.

I am using fop 0.95 to build a PDF document. Platform is HP-UX, Java 6, 
headless. The document contains an SVG, created by Inkscape. Besides some 
scaling issues (for which Inkscape is responsible and which have been resolved 
so far), I have the problem that the font referenced from the SVG (DejaVu Sans) 
is not used for rendering, but Helvetica instead. The font embedding itself 
works -- the surrounding text, generated via XSL:FO, appears in the DejaVu Sans 
font. The fonts are included via the FOP configuration file.

Interestingly, a few years ago I did the same with 0.93/Java 5 on a similar 
platform, but with different fonts, and it worked like a charm. Any idea why 
this no longer works would be appreciated.

Regards,
Klaus

Hi Pascal,

thanks for the information. So I just to have to figure out how to install fonts 
on Unix *without* trashing the shared Java installation ;-)

By the way, in the meantime I recovered my old installation and discovered that 
my memories were wrong -- it did not work neither with 0.93. I used SVGs with 
text converted to curves back then.

Regards,

Klaus

Hi,

Batik (SVG engine used by FOP) uses fonts installed on your system.
Threfore, you need to both set it in FOP conf ig file AND make it 
available in your system.
See FOP list archive [1] for further info.
