Description Jeff Wang 2003-06-17 02:12:26 UTC 
CJK TureType font has only one Font style: normal normal, because of LARGE 
CHARACATER SET. So FOP can not render a italic font using a Normal Normal font.

In Java2, Local fonts can be used, and you can create a Italic font derive from 
a normal font. And so in Arcobat on windows. Can FOP extends such ability in 
farther version??

I understand that FOP can not transform Font Style automatically, it may be due 
to some other Error(??).

FOP only uses Java's font subsystem for the AWT Renderer. The other renderers 
use their own font subsystem. The AWT fonts suffer from several deficiencies 
where the most problematic is the fact that the behvaiour is inconsistent over 
JDK versions.

I'm pretty sure that if you want to wait for FOP to implement such a 
functionality for the PDF renderer, for examples, you have to be prepared to 
wait for a long time. The other solution is: you implement it yourself. You'll 
be better off finding another font that has italic characters.

Please close this bug if you find a work-around and you don't think this is 
very important.
