docbkx-fop-support not generating font metrics file

[Ringo De Smet]

Hello,

I am trying to add an additional font to my setup. Based on example 12
in the usage guide, I configured my POM to generate the font-metrics
file for the font. I am testing this with my system Verdana font,
which I copied over to ${basedir}/src/fonts. Running the maven
generate-resources phase, I get a successful build, but no metrics
file. I tested this with docbkx-fop-support 2.0.9 and 2.0.10 without
success.

Below you can see the output I get on the console while running with --debug:

[DEBUG] Configuring mojo
'com.agilejava.docbkx:docbkx-fop-support:2.0.9:generate' -->
[DEBUG] (f) ansi = true
[DEBUG] (f) sourceDirectory = /Users/ringods/Documents/VUB/Master in

[DEBUG] (f) targetDirectory = /Users/ringods/Documents/VUB/Master in

[DEBUG] -- end configuration --
[INFO] [docbkx-fop-support:generate {execution: default}]

[DEBUG] Found Verdana.ttf
[DEBUG] Found 1 font files in total.
TTF Reader for Apache FOP 0.95

java org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader [options] fontfile.ttf xmlfile.xml

where options can be:
-d Debug mode
-q Quiet mode
-enc ansi
With this option you create a WinAnsi encoded font.
The default is to create a CID keyed font.
If you're not going to use characters outside the
pdfencoding range (almost the same as iso-8889-1)
you can add this option.
-ttcname <fontname>
If you're reading data from a TrueType Collection
(.ttc file) you must specify which font from the
collection you will read metrics from. If you read
from a .ttc file without this option, the fontnames
will be listed for you.
-fn <fontname>
default is to use the fontname in the .ttf file, but
you can override that name to make sure that the
embedded font is used (if you're embedding fonts)
instead of installed fonts when viewing documents
with Acrobat Reader.

Hi Ringo,

I am really sorry but I have no time right now because of the daily office task. If you feel that we have a bug in here please fill an issue on googlecode that way we will not forget it.

See you later,

Hi,

I tried (on SVN version but we didn't change anything since the
feature introduction) with verdana font from my windows XP and it is
working as expected, here is my configuration:

<configuration>
<bodyFontFamily>Verdana</bodyFontFamily>
<fonts>
<font>
<name>Verdana</name>
<style>normal</style>
<weight>normal</weight>
<embedFile>${basedir}/src/fonts/verdana.ttf</
embedFile>
<metricsFile>${basedir}/target/fonts/Verdana-
metrics.xml</metricsFile>
</font>
</fonts>
</configuration>

Could you post your pom file that we can check what is going wrong.

Regards,
Cedric,

Hello Cedric,

The DocBook work was put aside for a while due to higher priorities,
but I am starting on it again.

Both the pom.xml and the debug build output can be found there. Only
the scm section has been snipped from the POM.

In short, I configured the project to generate metrics files for all
the fonts installed on my Mac (/Library/Fonts), but no metrics files
end up in ${basedir}/target/fonts.

Hi,

okay I found, it was easy (sorry for the long delay replies)

The problem is just the space caracters in font names and in your working directory, the fault is on our side.

I created an issue: http://code.google.com/p/docbkx-tools/issues/detail?id=54

Cédric,

OK, tnx for the investigation. I will try and remove the spaces in the
folder name as a workaround and let you know the outcome.

I have commited the patch (so you can use the SVN) but it seems that there is another issue on some font causing an unexpected EOF on Mac OS.
