PDF: Wrong fonts used when generated on GHA

[ronaldtse]

In the site artifact generated by https://github.com/metanorma/bipm-si-brochure/actions/runs/2997291371 , the fonts used for the SI Brochure generated through the collection command (English, French and bilingual) are wrong:

• collection.pdf
• collection_en.pdf
• collection_fr.pdf

However, the direct documents generated have correct fonts:

• si-brochure-fr.pdf
• si-brochure-en.pdf

This file contains collection*.pdf and collection*.xml for debugging: Archive.zip

@ronaldtse the parameter --font-manifest ... is missing in the command line for collection PDF processing:

java -Xss5m -Xmx2048m -jar /usr/local/bundle/gems/mn2pdf-1.50/lib/../bin/mn2pdf.jar --xml-file "collection/collection.presentation.xml" --xsl-file "/usr/local/bundle/gems/metanorma-bipm-2.1.7/lib/isodoc/bipm/bipm.brochure.xsl" --pdf-file "collection/collection.pdf" --syntax-highlight  --split-by-language 

therefore mn2pdf puts default Noto fonts.

For instance, there is -font-manifest ... in the command line for usual documents:

java -Xss5m -Xmx2048m -jar /usr/local/bundle/gems/mn2pdf-1.50/lib/../bin/mn2pdf.jar --xml-file "/__w/bipm-si-brochure/bipm-si-brochure/site/documents/si-brochure-en.presentation.xml" --xsl-file "/usr/local/bundle/gems/metanorma-bipm-2.1.7/lib/isodoc/bipm/bipm.brochure.xsl" --pdf-file "/__w/bipm-si-brochure/bipm-si-brochure/site/documents/si-brochure-en.pdf" --param baseassetpath="/__w/bipm-si-brochure/bipm-si-brochure/sources" --syntax-highlight  --font-manifest "/tmp/fontist_locations20220906-1233-wyxn8g.yml"

A 1.5 years ago, we've had the similar issue: https://github.com/metanorma/bipm-si-brochure/issues/108#issuecomment-816585382

@CAMOBAP could you check it? Thanks.

Then this could be an issue with the new "collection" command. It must be failing to properly inherit those parameters like the "site generate" command. @abunashir can you please help here? This is important. Thanks.

[ronaldtse]

@abunashir is this fixed? Thanks!

[abunashir]

Nope, not yet. I am looking into it next!

Hi @ronaldtse, I finally managed to drill down the issue. Looks like the font-mainfest was never being used for collection document, so even though we were trying to set it but the pdf generation was ignoring that. I have created two separate pull request, and once that is merged then this issue should be resolved. Here are pull request:

• https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-standoc/pull/699
• https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma/pull/265

I've also tried to use this edge version here, and it seems to be working as expected :)

@ronaldtse: I assume we are done with this one, can we close this?

[abunashir]

Closing this one, but if there is anything else please feel free to reopen this one
