Hi everyone,

I want to know How to use fonts other than base fonts in fop plugin?
I am using Stylus Studio 2008 XML Enterprise Suite and Windows XP OS.

I found a answer mentioning that to create a userconfig.xml file. But it is not working for me. I am getting the following errors.

Hi Nitesh,
the configuration file you attached is for the latest FOP 0.9x code; in order to configure the 0.20 version that ships with Stylus Studio you must a create a different one, as described in this thread http://www.stylusstudio.com/SSDN/default.asp?action=9&fid=23&read=1626

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi Alberto Massari

Thanks for your reply.

I replaced the contents of userconfig.xml as you told contets are like below

<configuration>

<fonts>
<font metrics-file="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/comic.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\comic.ttf">

<font-triplet name="Comic Sans MS" style="normal" weight="normal"/>

</font>

<font metrics-file="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/comic.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\comicbd.ttf">

<font-triplet name="Comic Sans MS" style="normal" weight="bold"/>

</font>

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

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

</font>

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

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

</font>

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

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

</font>

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

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

</font>

</fonts>

</configuration>

But it gives the following error:
=================================

[INFO] Using com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser as SAX2 Parser
[ERROR] Failed to read font metrics file file:/C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/comic.xml: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\comic.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)
[ERROR] null

And one more question: Suppose if I want to use new version of fop i.e, fop-0.95 how I can use it with custom post-process

Pls help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Nithesh,
you didn't read the entire thread ;-)
One of the steps is the creation of those XML description files, for instance by running

java -cp fop.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader C:\Windows\Fonts\univer.ttf C:\Windows\Fonts\univer.xml

If you want to use a different version of FOP, you can just install it on your machine, then select the "Custom FOP processor" and use

c:\fop-0.95\fop.bat %1 %2

as the command line to be used.

Hope this helps,
Alberto
