Code submission: TrueType font support
Attached is a .tar.gz file containing code, a changes file describing
added files and changes to existing files, and an example document
describing how to create font metrics and embed truetype and type 1
fonts.
The submitted code is support for using TrueType fonts, and embedding
of TrueType and Type1 fonts, and support for kerning.
To embed fonts you have to enter the fontnames to embed in the
userconfig.xml file. You also have to use the userconfig.xml file to
enable kerning.
Fontsupport is still using the old approach of compiling in the
fontclass. In the future it would've been nicer to create metric.xml
files and enable them trough the userconfig.xml file. It would've also
been nice to know wich fonts that are used in a document and only
embed those fonts (or add metric information for used fonts only) - an
even nicer approach would've been to known which glyphs use the
different fonts and only embed subsets.
This code works for most latin fonts, but as the example shows, it has
some weaknesses. It assumes too much about the encoding and doesn't
reencode fonts. That's on the todo list. Also on the todo list are:
reading metrics from .afm files and support for more fonttypes (eg CID
Keyed fonts).
Note: Acrobat3 doesn't like embedded fonts. You'll have to use
Acrobat4.
Re: Code submission: TrueType font support Build with Xalan2?
Posted by Jeroen de Zwart <fa...@dds.nl>.
I'm very excited about this font submission but i can't build fop with it
because
the class org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTInputSource is not in xalan2.
anybody who knows how to build it with xalan2?

Hi, Arved
ok, I will link the new design docs with the existing docs.

Hi, Fotis
I can knock this out tonight. Incidentally, you will doubtless have noticed
that Stuart Zakon's new design docs (API with images, from Togther, for the
pdf and layout packages) got committed. Since you are the documentation
maestro I guess we could use your feedback on the best spot to link that
stuff in (it's in docs/design/contrib, and there are 2 natural entry points,
1 for each package).
Regards,
Arved

Tore
I would like to use the TrueType fonts but I'm not sure how to build a new
fop.jar with the stuff you sent. Can you give me some guidance on this or
simply send me a fop.jar that has your TrueType stuff already in it?

Great! Thanks for the contribution. If nobody else
has time to commit it, I can do it, but I am not sure whether I can
do this before week-end, so if anybody is able to do this earlier ...
