How to find out why fop needs a certain font?
Hi all,
I see the following warning message reported by FOP:
$ fop -c fop.cfg -dpi 150 apiguide.fo apiguide.pdf
Dec 19, 2012 2:59:02 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener
processEvent
WARNING: Font "Serif,normal,400" not found. Substituting with
"any,normal,400".
...
However, apiguide.fo does not contain any references to 'serif' font:
$ grep -i serif apiguide.fo
$
Why does FOP need 'Serif' font? Is there some built-in expectation that
'Serif' font must be always available?
Regards,
Alexey.

Hi,
simply using the font-family attribute on the fo:root element.
Note that all inherited properties can be set on fo:root element, so
you can set your own default properties there, including font-family.

Hi Bernardo,
That's good advice, thanks! How would you specify a global font family
in the FO root element, though?
Cheers,
Stefan

A couple more questions:
1. do you know if Batik would still use system font if there's an embedded
font in the SVG? E.g.,
<svg>
<defs>
<font>
<font-face font-family="Times New Roman" font-weight="normal"
font-style="normal">
<glyph .../>
...
</font-face>
</font>
</defs>
<text font-family="'Times New Roman'" font-weight="normal"
font-style="normal">Something</text>
</svg>
Will Batik use system font in this example?
2. Do you know how fonts are selected by JEuclid plugin for FOP (which handles
MathML)? Is it also using system fonts?

Re: How to find out why fop needs a certain font?
Posted by Mehdi Houshmand <me...@gmail.com>.
SVG fonts call the AWT font subsystem, which means that they use system
fonts. Fixing that is an arduous and very time intensive task.
If you want to see what fonts are available to Batik, the SVG renderer you
just need to list the fonts available to AWT. There are plently of emails
on this subject in the archives if you want to learn more.
If you've still got questions, feel free to ask

Re: How to find out why fop needs a certain font?
Posted by Pascal Sancho <ps...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
Yes:
FOP uses BATIK to render SVG, witch uses system fonts to render SVG text.
And
FOP uses fop.xconf to embed fonts in PDF.
So you need to declare fonts for SVG in both system and FOP config.

Understood. We have similar challenges too.

yes that is true. Just to be clear, this is a limitation of Batik, not
FOP. Batik uses the AWT Font system as mentioned by Mehdi and Pascal.
Peter is researching the possibility of changing Batik so that it can
use fonts defined in fop.xconf, but that is a long term project with no
quick fix.

Re: How to find out why fop needs a certain font?
Posted by Alexey Neyman <st...@att.net>.
Yes, I want to understand how FOP treats the fonts in SVG (and, if you know
that, how fonts are selected in embedded MathML via JEuclid plugin - we use
that, too).
We've had some font discrepancies in the past depending on the fonts installed
on each developer's machine (in part, because some of the authors are on
Windows machines and some are on Linux - so they're likely to have different
fonts). Thus, we've decided to do away with using system fonts and use only
local fonts (i.e. fonts checked out from the repository along with the
document sources).

Are you saying that the font used in SVG needs to be present both as a system
font, even if it is listed in fop.conf? What is FOP going to use then, system
font or local font?
If it is using system font, that's more than disturbing. As I mentioned, this
completely prevents setting up a controlled environment with known fonts.

I made it so for this reduced test case. Originally, it was embed-
url="../fonts/TimesNewRoman.ttf" - as I mentioned above, we want to have a
controlled font environment.

The machine does not have a 'Times New Roman' system font (it's a Linux
machine, it comes with a different set of system fonts by default).
But why would FOP need a system font if it has the required font specified in
the configuration file?
Another question is, would embedding fonts in SVGs prevent FOP from using
system fonts?

Alexey.

Re: How to find out why fop needs a certain font?
Posted by Alexey Neyman <st...@att.net>.
Hi Luis,
No, it is not the case. In the FO I am using, fo:root has a font-family
specified, and that font family is described in the fop.cfg.
Actually, I traced this warning down to the watermark image specified for
the background. However, that SVG does not refer to 'Serif' font, either. Can
somebody please explain how does FOP treat the fonts in the included SVG
files?
I even tried to add a substitution from font-family="Serif" to font-
family="Times New Roman", it did not help either.
Here is the reduced FO file that exhibits the issue:
[[[
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" font-family="Times New
Roman">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="draft">
<fo:region-body background-image="url(draft.svg)"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="draft">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
]]]
And here is the draft.svg:
[[[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="80 80 600 600"

font-size="250px" y="640" x="-315" font-family="'Times New Roman'"
fill="#f2f2f2">Draft</text>

]]]
And fop.cfg:

This is of no consequence although is it puzzling at first. If you
specify a global font-family in the fo root element I think the warning
goes away. I think what you are seeing has been discussed here:
