Re: [docbook-apps] Using custom fonts

Thanks for the ideas.

As far as the fop xconf file, I tried both – I first specified the path for each of the four variants of Trebuchet MS and for Consolas; then I tried Thomas' suggestion. In both cases it works the same – the italic and bold do not appear in the PDF output.

I'm thinking maybe I'm missing some parameter settings. In my XSL customization layer I have

<xsl:param name="body.font.family">Trebuchet MS</xsl:param>

<xsl:param name="monospace.font.family">Consolas</xsl:param>

I was assuming that the base family name was the only parameter value, needed but maybe I'm missing something?

I had problems like this as well when switching to FOP.

I had to be very careful with parameter settings in my customization layer, like body.font.family.

We had been using XEP, and in modifying my layer for FOP, I found it would often not find the italics version of the body font. In some cases I limited some items to an italic font.
With XEP, I'd provide a list of fonts or just the base font name, and it would find the italic version, but with FOP, it wouldn't.

Any other ideas about what might be wrong here? I've Googled a bunch and I find some places where people had trouble with HTML output not being italic or bold when expected, but pretty much reached a dead end on fop PDF output.

Made that change, and it didn't help the emphasis issue.

I forgot to add my example. Here is an excerpt of the PDF renderer:

<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>

<directory>/usr/share/fonts/truetype/</directory>


<auto-detect/>
</fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
