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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Heath E-Mail: heath@numismatics.org Director of Information Technology Phone: 212 234 3130 x215 The American Numismatic Society Fax: 212 234 3381 Broadway at 155th Street Web: http://www.numismatics.org New York, NY 10032
