Enhancement Request: Please add an option to set font-config file

[AndeeZee]

Hello! When using Antenna House Formatter for different projects, I need to keep the fonts separate per project and transformation process. So it would be great to have an option to set AHF70_FONT_CONFIGFILE / AHF70_64_FONT_CONFIGFILE respectively. Maybe an additional commandline-parameter to the ahfcmd.exe would help to avoid "fiddling" around with different environment variables for different versions of formatter.

Thank you, Andy

Hello again! Or can you tell me please, how to add my enhancement request to a custom plugin, which extends it, so that a variable ends up in a target like this:

<target name="transform.fo2pdf.option.and.multivol" if="option.and.multivol">
    <exec executable="${ahf.dir}/${ahf.cmd}" logerror="true" failonerror="true">
        <arg value="-d"/>
        <arg value="${prmInputFile}"/>
        <arg value="-o"/>
        <arg value="${prmOutputFile}"/>
        <arg value="-p"/>
        <arg value="@PDF"/>
        <arg value="-extlevel"/>
        <arg value="4"/>
        <arg value="-i"/>
        <arg value="${ahf.opt}"/>
        <arg value="-multivol"/>
        <env key="AHF70_64_FONT_CONFIGFILE" value="${ahf.font.config}"/>
    </exec>
</target>

For now, I put everything in the base plugin (com.antennahouse.pdf5.ml), which is of course not the intention, but I'm lost in integrating it to the jp.acme-corporation.pdf.ml plugin, so that I can redefine these targets with the new parameter.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Andy

Thank you for your suggestion. I will ask my professional colleague whether is is possible to change font-folder per AH Formatter invoking.

[ToshihikoMakita]

I have analyzed how to include your requirement and found that changing font-config.xml per invoking is not general request. So I will implement this function by build file extension. Do you have any suggestions?

[ToshihikoMakita]

I've implemented build extension in the "test-font-config" branch. Could you test this function by installing attached extension plug-in?

com.antennahouse.pdf5.ml.font-config.change.zip

1. Clone 'test-font-config' branch.
2. Unzip the archive and copy it [DITA-OT]/plugins folder.
3. In the [DITA-OT] directory, type "bin/dita --install" command.
4. Invoke DITA-OT by dita command specifying --ahf.font.config.file=[font-config.xml path].

The default font-config.xml environment variable is "AHF70_64_FONT_CONFIGFILE". You can change by specifying --ah.font.config.env=[font-config.xml environment variable name]

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.
