Hi,


I've a weird problem, I'm using org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder to generate a

PDf from an SVG document in xml format, the problem that I'm facing is despite of defining 'pdf-renderer-cfg.xml' in the specified format and configuring the PDFTranscoder with it, PDFTranscoder is not embedding the font into the PDF. In the 'embed-url' I've given actual path to the true type font.


The contents of 'pdf-renderer-cfg.xml' are :


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pdf-renderer>
  <fonts>
         <font metrics-url="/home/prince/appDir/webapp/lib/Fonts/cursive-standard.xml" kerning="no" embed-url="/home/prince/appDir/webapp/lib/Fonts/Cursive-standard.ttf">
          <font-triplet name="Cursive" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
        </font>
  </fonts>
</pdf-renderer>


and to configure the PDF transcoder I've extended org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.SVGConverter


and overridden 'execute' method as :


   public void execute() throws SVGConverterException {
        // Compute the set of SVGConverterSource from the source properties
        // (srcDir and srcFile);
        // This throws an exception if there is not at least one src file.
        Vector sources =  computeSources();

        // Compute the destination files from dest
        Vector dstFiles = null;
        if(sources.size() == 1 && dst != null && isFile(dst)){
            dstFiles = new Vector();
            dstFiles.addElement(dst);
        }
        else{
            dstFiles =  computeDstFiles(sources);
        }
       
        //Getting the path of the FOP config file
        String fopPath = UtilProperties.getPropertyValue("fop.properties", "fop.path", "webapp/lib/Fonts");
        File userConfigFile = new File(fopPath + "/pdf-renderer-cfg.xml");       
       
        //Build the configuration
        cfgBuilder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder();       
        try {
            cfg = cfgBuilder.buildFromFile(userConfigFile);
        } catch (ConfigurationException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SAXException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
       
        //Get the PDF Transcoder object
        pdfTranscoder = new PDFTranscoder();
       
        //Configure the transcoder
        try {
            pdfTranscoder.configure(cfg);
        } catch (ConfigurationException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
       
        // Now, get the transcoder to use for the operation       
        Transcoder transcoder = (Transcoder) pdfTranscoder;
        if(transcoder == null) {
            throw new SVGConverterException(ERROR_CANNOT_ACCESS_TRANSCODER,
                                             new Object[]{destinationType.toString()},
                                             true /* fatal error */);
        }

        // Now, compute the set of transcoding hints to use
        Map hints = computeTranscodingHints();
        transcoder.setTranscodingHints(hints);

        // Notify listener that task has been computed
        if(!controller.proceedWithComputedTask(transcoder,
                                               hints,
                                               sources,
                                               dstFiles)){
            return;
        }

        // Convert files one by one
        for(int i = 0 ; i < sources.size() ; i++) {
            // Get the file from the vector.
            SVGConverterSource currentFile
                = (SVGConverterSource)sources.elementAt(i);
            File outputFile  = (File)dstFiles.elementAt(i);

            createOutputDir(outputFile);
            transcode(currentFile, outputFile, transcoder);
        }
    }
   
}


and the content of the svg file is  :


<svg width="432" height="288" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

 </g>
</svg>


but even after this the PDFTransocder 's output , i.e. the PDF doesn't contain the text in proper font, I tried to install the font on my O.S. as well,

but that too didn't work.


I'm using batik-all-1.6.jar ,Java version is 1.6 and O.S. is Linux(Ubuntu).

Any guidance /pointers will of extreme help as I've been debugging the library at runtime since last couple of days and haven't been able to find the cause.
