FW: importing fonts

Hey Guys,

I’m trying to import two fonts – Barcode3of9 and BC4State..

The BC4 State one seems to work fine from first creating the metrics file :

java -cp
build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;l
ib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -fn "BC4State"
fonts/bc4state.ttf bc4state.xml

I use the same step to create the 3 of 9 metric:

java -cp
build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;l
ib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -fn "3 of
9Barcode" fonts/3of9BarCode.ttf 3Of9barcode.xml

In my configuration I have:

<fonts>                
<font metrics-url="file:///C:/pdfbin/fop-0.94beta/3Of9barcode.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///C:/pdfbin/fop-0.94beta/fonts/3Of9Barcode.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Barcode3of9" style="normal" weight="normal" />
</font>
        
<font metrics-url="file:///C:/pdfbin/fop-0.94beta/bc4state.xml"
kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///C:/pdfbin/fop-0.94beta/fonts/bc4state.TTF">
<font-triplet name="bc4state" style="normal" weight="normal" />
</font>
</fonts>

(in both the PDF renderer and the PCL renderer block)

The command line I’m using is:

C:\pdfbin\fop-0.94\fop.bat "E:\work\printer_test\test.fo" -c
"c:\pdfbin\fop-0.94\conf\fop.xconf" -pcl "e:\work\printer_test\test.pcl"

I do not see any errors for BC4State.. as when both were failing I would
see:
WARNING: Font 'Barcode3of9,normal,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,400'.
WARNING: Font 'BC4State,normal,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,400'.

However, on startup, I see this error:

2/06/2008 10:45:57 org.apache.fop.fonts.FontCache loadFrom
WARNING: I/O exception while reading font cache
(org.apache.fop.fonts.FontCache;

Discarding font cache file.
2/06/2008 10:45:57 org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactoryConfigurator configure

And further down when trying to use the font:
WARNING: Font 'Barcode3of9,normal,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,400'.

As extra information – I tried to create a metrics file using the same
command line above in fop-0.95beta and I get:

C:\pdfbin\fop-0.95beta>java -cp
build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;l

        ... 4 more

I figure I have to get the fonts embedded correctly if I am to jump straight
from FO -> PCL.

Am I doing anything obviously wrong here? 

Additionally – is there any problems with me using Saxon to do the XSL/XML
processing to create an FO file, then using FOP to convert to my desired
format?

Thanks Guys,
Martin.

Posted by Martin Edge <Ma...@asmorphic.net.au>.
Cool - yep - soon as I got rid of the metrics and properly configured it in
the conf, the fonts worked again. 

I had to use the full font name as it appears in a font viewer though

I guess previously the font's name was overridden when imported into the FOP
processor (looks like the previous person was using Antenna XSL Formatter,
but hacked into the fop.bat script)

Thanks
Martin.

I'd guess that the format of your config file is not 100% correct. Are
the "font" tags really configured for the PCL section, too? At the
moment font configuration needs to happen for each renderer separately.

No, except that the config file could be wrong.

You said you're on .NET. So does that mean the .NET version of SAXON?
Generally, it doesn't make any functional difference which XSLT
processor you use. You can even use Microsoft's. In terms of performance
the choice of XSLT processor and the way you combine XSLT + FOP can make
a difference. Usually, you lose some performance if you have to
serialize the intermediate FO file because it just has to be parsed
again later.
