[oXygen-user] FOP Question

[Sebastian Heath]

The following may well be only a FOP question but perhaps there is 
particular expertise on this list:

Platform: Oxygen 3.0 on MacOS X 10.2.8. java version "1.4.1_01"

I have a transformation scenario set up to produce a pdf. All is 
working well except some unicode characters are appearing as # in the 
resulting pdf. Specifically, ć - Latin Small Letter C with Acute 
and đ Latin Small Letter D with Stroke.  These are both in Latin 
Extended-A. My encoding for all documents is utf-8 and many other 
unicode characters are coming through just fine. I've tried both Times 
and Helvetica and the problem persists.

  I saw the PDF file about adding fonts to FOP but am having problems 
with that. When I run the following script:

#!/bin/sh
export LIB=oxygen.app/Contents/Resources/Java
export CMD="java -cp 
$LIB/fop.jar:$LIB/avalon-framework-4.1.3.jar:$LIB/xml-apis.jar:"
export CMD="$CMD$LIB/xercesImpl.jar:$LIB/xalan.jar 
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader"
export FONT_DIR='/Library/Fonts'
$CMD $FONT_DIR/ArialHB.ttf ArialHB.xml


I get the following output:
TTF Reader v1.1.1

Reading /Library/Fonts/ArialHB.ttf...

Number of glyphs in font: 180
Unicode cmap table not present
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0
         at java.util.ArrayList.RangeCheck(ArrayList.java:508)
         at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:320)
         at org.apache.fop.fonts.TTFFile.createCMaps(TTFFile.java:449)
         at org.apache.fop.fonts.TTFFile.readFont(TTFFile.java:439)
         at 
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader.loadTTF(TTFReader.java:222)
         at org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader.main(TTFReader.java:184)


I am by no means a java expert but it looks like "Unicode cmap table 
not present" is the informative part of that output. A little bit of 
googling did not produce a ready answer.

Again, I understand that this may not be an oxygen problem but would 
appreciate any suggestions group members might have.

Thanks,

  Sebastian.
