HI,

I'm now develop the letters the WFM project. For testing the command line command I'm using the FOP.

The problem is that it not support the Univers True Type Fond.

How can I organize that.

Kind regards,

Richard,
are you saying that you need to use a post-processing different from
Apache Fop? What is it? Is that something that you can configure in the
scenario dialog and that you would also like to use from the command line?

What I'm saying is that I'm using the font Univers. But the FOP doesn't support this font. How can I tell the FOP to support this font?

I don't know how to help you here.
You probably want to contact the Apache XML/FOP group
(http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html), who are the developers of FOP.

Hi, Richard!

It is easy enough to add custom true type fonts support to FOP, if you just use FOP from Apache. Following Apache instruction you should run this command for each font file:
java org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader C:\Winnt\Fonts\univer.ttf C:\Winnt\Fonts\univer.xml
(This assumes you have Java VM installed and file fop.jar is in your CLASSPATH environment variable.)

Then you should edit your userconfig.xml file in FOP_Dir\conf. Add this lines between <fonts> and </fonts> tags (don't forget to uncomment this block):

<font metrics-file="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/univer.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\univer.ttf"> <font-triplet name="Univers" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> <font metrics-file="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/univerb.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\univerb.ttf">

That's all. Now when you invoke FOP do it as:

java org.apache.fop.apps.FOP -c FOP_Dir\conf\userconfig.xml some.fo some.pdf

But the problem do arise when you try to use this within Stylus Studio. I didn't managed to use FOP as custom post-processor with options needed. So I was forced to use FOP as Stylus Studio plugin. But I slightly changed the source file from FOP_Dir\src\org\apache\fop\apps\CommandLineOptions.java by including line:
userConfigFile = new File("Fop_Dir/conf/userconfig.xml"); then recompiled all sources (all you need to do just run the FOP_Dir\build.bat) and change file Stylus Studio\bin\Plugins\Fop\fop.jar into new fop.jar I built.

Sorry if it looks a bit messy. But maybe someone will propose more comfortable way to use custom fonts in FOP within Stylus Studio.

I believe that if you create a custom post-processor with this options:
java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -c FOP_Dir\conf\userconfig.xml -fo %1 %2

....things should work fine.

We hear you; we'll make it easier to specify additional options to FOP
post-processing; I'm creating a new PCR for this.

Thanks for the suggested solution,

It actually works. Thank you.

I'm trying your solution, but get some problems. Do you had installed the FOP software or only the Stylus software?

Any way thanks for the help :-)

Yes, I have Apache Fop software installed. But there's no big difference between using FOP from its manufacturer Apache or one included in Stylus Studio. If by any reason you don't want to install Apache Fop, you should follow the next steps:
  1. Generate XML metrics for your font:
    java -cp D:\Progra~1\eXcelo~1\Stylus~1\bin\Plugins\Fop\fop.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader C:\WINNT\Fonts\univer.ttf univer.xml
  2. Create configuration file your_config.xml in any catalog. For example in ...\Stylus Studio\bin\Plugins\Fop with following text:
    
<configuration>

	<fonts>

 		<font metrics-file="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/univer.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\univer.ttf">

    	<font-triplet name="Univers" style="normal" weight="normal"/>

 		</font>

 		<font metrics-file="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/univerb.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\univerb.ttf">

    	<font-triplet name="Univers" style="normal" weight="bold"/>

 		</font>

 		<font metrics-file="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/univeri.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\univeri.ttf">

    	<font-triplet name="Univers" style="italic" weight="normal"/>

 		</font>

 		<font metrics-file="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/univerbi.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\univerbi.ttf">

    	<font-triplet name="Univers" style="italic" weight="bold"/>

 		</font>

	</fonts>

</configuration>
    I have this file in Apache FOP distribution.
  3. Now in Scenario Properties for your XSL stylesheet go to Post-process tab. Check Custom Post-Process radiobutton and enter the following command line:
    java -cp D:\Progra~1\eXcelo~1\Stylus~1\bin\Plugins\Fop\fop.jar org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -c D:\Progra~1\eXcelo~1\Stylus~1\bin\Plugins\Fop\your_config.xml %1 %2
    And choose .pdf as generated file extension.
  4. That's all, I suppose.
Good luck,
Mike Smirnov
