Font Symbol

Rate this Message:
I've found a weird bug...
When i use the font "Symbol" (which is built it), all works well... except if i try to use the "font-style='italic'" with it... it gives an error: missing font (or something like that): 'Symbol, italic, 400' replacing with default (or something like that). Can others replicate the problem? (i sorted it out by forcing all symbols to be "normal" but i think this should be sorted out) Cheers LF P.S.- The more i know of FOP, the greater my admiration and respect for all the hard work put into it... you guys certainly did (and are doing) a great work! |

Seems correct more or less, but now that you mention it: it does switch the whole font, right? While it is actually only the font- style component that makes it impossible to locate the font. It doesn't seem too difficult to alter FontInfo.java to make it first look for a font with the same name/weight, but with default font-style. Anyway, I'll give other devs a chance to chime in before I start fiddling with it. If no objections arise, I'll probably commit this small change during the weekend.

It seams so... some symbols which doesn't exist in normal fonts (weird unicodes to start with) just disapear from the text and are replaced with a "#"... After i switched the italic to normal, the characters reapeared.
(this is in the somewhat new thrunk-svn of the start of August) This didn't happened in the older version... Cheers, LF

If you decide to do it make sure you update the message "replacing with default font" to reflect exactly which font was used instead.

A little later than promised, but here goes: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=438251&view=rev As Chris suggested, the notifyFontReplacement() method has been altered to show which triplet will be used instead. Note: I'm not sure if this suffices. If the default is used, the message will now read "... replacing with 'any,normal,400'." Is that enough?

For me is perfect, because this way we know what was used in each time a font isn't found.
Gratz, Luis Ferro
