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

Most likely it has to do with the fonts that reside on your system. You will need to have a good symbol font that covers the symbols you need. We use the DejaVu fonts (http://dejavu-fonts.org) and I have not had any problems with them. It's been a long while since I used any other fonts, but I remember some "issues" with the regular fonts in Windows and Linux that FOP tries to use.

 

I have attached my font setup customization for your perusal. Also, like some of the previous posts said, check out the FO file and see what problem it is having. FOP usually will tell you a line to go to in the error. When I need to dig into the FO file, I usually format the FO with xmllint before running it through FOP. It will be easier to find the structure around your problem.

 

If FOP cannot find a suitable font, it will substitute one that it has.

So, if I don't specify fonts in my xml source, will your setup help
with the warnings?
