If the font that must be set to Apache FOP is one of the fonts that are installed in the
operating system you should follow the next steps for creating and setting a FOP
configuration file that looks for the font that it needs in the system fonts. It is a
simplified version of the procedure for setting a custom font in Apache FOP.
-
Register the font in FOP configuration. (This is not necessary for DITA PDF
transformations, skip to the next step)
-
Create a FOP configuration file that specifies that FOP should look for fonts in
the installed fonts of the operating system.
<fop version="1.0">
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>
<auto-detect/>
</fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>
-
Open the
Preferences dialog box , go to , and enter the path of the FOP configuration file in the
Configuration file text field.
-
Set the font on the document content.
This is done usually with XSLT stylesheet parameters and depends on the document type
processed by the stylesheet.
- For DocBook documents you can start with the built-in scenario called DocBook
PDF, edit the XSLT parameters and set the font name (for example,
Arial Unicode MS) to the
body.font.family and
title.font.family parameters.
- For TEI documents you can start with the built-in scenario called TEI PDF,
edit the XSLT parameters and set the font name (for example,
Arial Unicode MS) to the
bodyFont and
sansFont parameters.
- For DITA transformations to PDF using DITA-OT you should modify the following two files:
