Generated metrics files result in missing glyph in PDF #83

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up your project to use a custom font with CMAP tables, such as DejaVu, 
http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page.
2. Include a "special" character in your DocBook document present in the font 
such as ć.
3. Generate PDF. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: ć
Observed output: #

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
docbkx-tools 2.0.13, Java 1.6, Mac OS X and CentOS

Please provide any additional information below.

Font metrics files are deprecated with FOP 1.0, and only necessary if the fonts 
do not contain CMAP tables. With fonts that do contain CMAP tables, such as 
DejaVu, FOP used directly on the .fo without font metrics files does find all 
glyphs.

For further details, also see http://marc.info/?l=fop-user&m=131805584932060&w=2

The FOP 1.0 conf I used specified where to find the DejaVu fonts:

$ diff fop-1.0/fonts.xml fop-1.0/conf/fop.xconf 
81,82d80
<         
<directory>/Users/mark/Documents/workspace/opendj3/src/fonts</directory>
<         <!-- <auto-detect /> -->

One workaround seems to be removing <ansi>true</ansi> from the configuration 
for docbkx-fop-support.

From http://blog.flotsam.nl/2010/02/docbook-fop-and-fonts.html, I went to 
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html and learned that using -enc 
ansi with fop limits the character set.

In any case, it seems to be working for me with DejaVu fonts.

Perhaps Example 15 in the User Guide should mention this.
