Subject: FW: The trouble with Verdana and FO
Hello All, I've just begun to use Docbook to create documentation and have experienced some difficulty getting FOP to render bold and italic versions of Verdana. Based on the suggestions in Bob Stayton's book: I created .xml files from the Windows font files, created a configuration file, set the font name in the .xsl custom. layer and added the -c <ConfigFileName> in the command line when performing the transformation. PDF rendering works fine for Garamond, but when I run the FOP batch file the document is rendered in normal Verdana without rendering the Italic and Bold versions of this font. Like I said, I'm using FOP and the following configuration file to try and use Verdana in my documents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <fonts> <font metrics-file="file:///d:/lib/V.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="file://c:/WINDOWS/FONTS/verdana.TTF"> <font-triplet name="Verdana" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> <font metrics-file="file:///d:/lib/VB.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="file://c:/WINDOWS/FONTS/verdanab.TTF"> <font-triplet name="Verdana" style="normal" weight="bold"/> </font> <font metrics-file="file:///d:/lib/VI.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="file://c:/WINDOWS/FONTS/verdanai.TTF"> <font-triplet name="Verdana" style="italic" weight="normal"/> </font> </fonts> </configuration> It would be really appreciated if I could get some suggestions on how to go about solving this problem (e.g. if there any known issues with this particular font with Docbook or with FOP?)
