Re: [docbook-apps] Re: fop: WARNING: Cannot Find a Base-14 Font (docbookbug?)

Tom

Have you configured FOP to handle the fonts that you want?

 

I try not to have FOP search for fonts - it takes too long and you really can't control what it finds. Instead, I specify the fonts specifically.

Here is a snippet from my FOP config file:

        <fonts>
        <!-- register a particular font -->
          
          <!-- SANS Font -->
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSans.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSans" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
          </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSans.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="Times New Roman" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
     &n
 bsp;    </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSans" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
          </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSans" style="italic" weight="bold"/>
          </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf">
            <font-triple
 t name="DejaVuSans" style="italic" weight="normal"/>
          </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSans-ExtraLight.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSans" style="normal" weight="200"/>
          </font>
        
          <!-- MONO Spaced Font -->
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSansMono.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSansMono" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
          </font&g
 t;
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSansMono" style="italic" weight="normal"/>
          </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSansMono" style="italic" weight="bold"/>
          </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="Deja
 VuSansMono" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
          </font>
          
          <!-- SERIF Font -->
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSerif.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSerif" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
          </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSerif" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
          </font>
  
         <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSerif-BoldItalic.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSerif" style="italic" weight="bold"/>
          </font>
          <font  embed-url="../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf/DejaVuSerif-Italic.ttf">
            <font-triplet name="DejaVuSerif" style="italic" weight="normal"/>
          </font>
          
          <!-- register all the fonts found in a directory -->
   <directory>../../doctools/dejavu-fonts-ttf/ttf</directory>
  
    
        <!-- register all the fonts found in a directory
          and all of its sub directories (use with care) 
          <directory recursive="true">C:\MyFonts2</directory>-->
        
        <!-- automatically detect operating system installed fonts -->
        <!-- <auto-detect/> -->
      </fonts>

 

--------------------------------------

In addition, I have some XSL code that allows markup like   <emphasis role="bold"> when I what to specifically bold an item.

Maybe my bug reference was misleading.  The need for bold may be 
happening  behind the scenes in fop, but the warning doesn't say 
anything about needing a bold font, so maybe this is an fop bug after 
all? 

Thanks, Bela.
