Absolute path of font file ...
Hi,
I am using Fop_0.20.5. And i have some issue with supporting fonts ...
userconfig.xml
<fonts>
<font metrics-file="C:\Fop_0.20.5\fonts\arial.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
</fonts>
my problem is that I don't want to specify the absolute path for the font-metrics or embed-file attribute (C:\Fop_0.20.5\fonts\ or C:\windows\fonts\) in the userconfig.xml to support the fonts. Because it will cause the portablity problem.
Anybody knows the solution for this issue kindly mail me ...
or is there any way to set or pass the value for font-metrics or embed-file attribute dynamically .

From the 'more than 1-way-to-accomplish-your-task" dept., ... you could
also set the fontBaseDir higher (i.e., to c:\my) and then use relative
paths like this:
<font metrics-file="fontmetrics1.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="embed-base\dir\arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>

Yes this is possible. Suppose the fontBaseDir is c:\my\metrics-base\dir then
font entry in userconfig.xml would be:
<font metrics-file="fontmetrics1.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="..\embed-base\dir\arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
So every path to do with fonts is resolved *relative* to the fontBaseDir setting.

Thank you very much ...
is It possible to refer metrics-file attribute for one directory, and embed-file attribute for another directory?
for example ...
I have metrics xml file in c:\my\metrics-base\dir\fontmetrics1.xml and ttf file in c:\my\embed-base\dir\arial.ttf
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir","C:/my/metrics-base/dir");
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("fontBaseDir","C:/my/embed-base/dir");
<font metrics-file="fontmetrics1.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>

Just specify relative paths in the font metrics or embed file attributes in
the userconfig.xml file and the relative paths will be resolved against the
base directory. So for example, if you want to reference a metrics file at
c:\my\base\dir\fontmetrics1.xml and ttf file c:\my\base\dir\arial.ttf then specify
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("fontBaseDir","/my/base/dir");
and in the userconfig.xml
<font metrics-file="fontmetrics1.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>

Unless I'm greatly mistaken, you can set fontBaseDir, baseDir
and baseURL in the userconfig.xml file too.

Hi,
As per the http://xml.apache.org/fop/configuration.html and http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html document,
we can set the baseDir and fontBaseDir using org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.
Here is an example that sets the "baseDir" configuration in a Unix environment:
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir","/my/base/dir");
Here is another that sets baseDir in a Windows environment:
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir","C:\my\base\dir");
How do I use that values for font-metrics or embed-file attribute in the userconfig.xml?

According to the FOP Fonts Page[1]:
* Starting with FOP version 0.20.5 you can use URLs for the paths to
the font files. Relative URLs are resolved relative to the fontBaseDir
property (or baseDir) if available. See FOP: Configuration[2] for more
information.

http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html
[2]
http://xml.apache.org/fop/configuration.html
In addition, if you must port this to another system, you should be
able to modify the fontBaseDir only once. Does this solve your dilemma?
