Hi, we have the problem that this single FO: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master page-height="279.4mm" page-width="210mm" master- name="cover" margin-left="0mm" margin-right="0mm"> <fo:region-body margin-top="0mm" margin-bottom="0mm"> </fo:region-body> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="cover"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" font-family="Arial Unicode MS"> <fo:table width="100%" space-before="11mm" table-layout="fixed"> <fo:table-column column-width="51mm" column-number="1" /> <fo:table-body text-align="start"> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell padding-before="12mm" padding-start="8mm"> <fo:external-graphic src="url(TestZ.svg)" /> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> with this SVG (content): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20000303 Stylable//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/03/WD-SVG-20000303/DTD/svg-20000303- stylable.dtd"> <!-- Generator: IsoDraw 5.1 --> <svg width="48pt" height="412.146pt" viewBox="0 0 48 412.146" xml:space="preserve"> <g id="Standardebene" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip- rule:evenodd;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-linecap:round;stroke- linejoin:miter;fill:none;"> <text transform="matrix(0 -1 1 0 37 412.146)" style="stroke:none;fill:#000000;font-family:'Arial';font-size:47.25;font- weight:bold;" >Benutzeranleitung</text> </g> </svg> it is generated in 2 different ways on 2 similar PCs (i.e. computers). The 1st PC generates an SVG picture with the bold word "Benutzeranleitung" which perfectly fits in the viewport of the SVG. On the other PC the word "Benutzeranleitung" is a little bigger and does not fit in the same viewport and the last letter 'g' is cut off in the middle. Evidently there is a different font beeing used for the text rendering. The 2 PCs have both MS W2k OS, Office 2000 and are pretty the same. We use the same FOP 0.20.5 instalation (I copyied it on both PCs). I tried to use same font matrics on both PCs and also locally generated font matrics (I have successful experiences until now with fonts and metrics on different PCs in FOP <fo:block>-s) We also tried to replace all Arial fonts of the 2nd PC with fonts from the 1st PC and vice versa, but it brought no difference. Can anybody please help us in this case to get the same results independent of a computer beeing used for generating PDF using FOP ? thanx Miro J.
This *may* be a known issue related to font-metrics of different AWT versions in Java. IIRC, until recently (pre-1.4.0_09), Sun's Java exhibited font metric inconsistencies, whereas IBM JRE 1.3.1 and later did not have this problem. Although you provided much useful information (thanks!), you did not include the JRE version on each machine (for W2k, type "java -fullversion" at the MS-DOS prompt to determine the JRE). In any case, please search the fop-user archives for more on this problem. If you don't find the answer you're looking for, submit questions to the fop-user mailing list before filing a bug. You can find out about the FOP mailing lists here: http://xml.apache.org/fop/maillist.html If after some discussion it is determined to be a problem with FOP, we can re-open this issue. Thanks!
