Author 16.1 / 17 pdf (font problem)

[Welblaud]

I am sorry, I can't figure out how to configure file or the app to produce pdf with accented chars. My file is in Czech, TEI Lite, fully valid but in the output there are many hashes instead of accented characters. I have tried on Win 7 as well as Lin Mint, the same. From the documentation I am not able to understand whether it is a xsl problem, font problem, app setting problem or something different...

Any help more than welcome! (I have to admit this prevents me from quick including Oxygen into a publishing worklow )

The log is:

Hi,

If the document contains some Unicode characters that cannot be rendered by the default PDF fonts, then a special font that is capable to render these characters must be configured and embedded in the PDF result.

For this issue, we have a dedicated topic in our user manual:
http://oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ ... n-FOP.html

Thank you, I have read these instructions. The very basic idea of a small config (all fonts are installed as default in the OS) does not work. I am trying to apply this: http://oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ ... ified.html but can’t find the proper place where fonts are set for FO transformations. Somewhere in C:\..\Oxygen XML Author 16\frameworks\tei\xml\tei\stylesheet\fo\fo.xsl?

Ok, I think I am starting to understand, will let you know!

I am stuck—the bat throws:

Code: Select all

Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader

Yes, you need to modify some XSLT parameters:

For TEI documents you can start with the predefined scenario called TEI PDF, edit the XSLT parameters and set the font name (in our example Arial Unicode MS) to the parameters bodyFont and sansFont.

For instance, on my Windows 8 machine, I duplicated the TEI PDF transformation scenario and changed the values for the XSLT parameters ending in "*Font" to "Verdana". I did not changed the fop configuration file.

Thanks! I got it! Changing of parameters works.

It still throws:

Code: Select all

ERROR - Couldn't find hyphenation pattern for lang="en_US".

... but everything seems fine!

[radu_pisoi]

Could you please share with us a sample document to reproduce the hyphenation problem?

[radu_pisoi]

You get this error because the hyphenation support is not installed for the Apache FOP processor.

To install a custom hyphenation pattern for use with Apache FOP please follow the Adding Libraries to the Built-in FO Processor procedure from our user manual.

Thanks, the warning has disappeared!
