I resolved it by myself ... If someone is interested by this workaround,
here it is :
// I just added this line in my static initializer to dinamycally set the
font base directory to the directory where my app was started ... Then fop
just have to use the relative path setted in the userconfig file.
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("fontBaseDir",PDFRenderer.class.getResource("/").getFile());
Bye,

Hello,
I can't use relative path to my fonts file (xml + ttf). Even if I use the
fontBaseDir property in the Configuration fop's object.
I need to do that because my app will be deployed on different platform
using a single JAR file which contains all the needed fonts stuff (there
is not shared server which can "host" the fonts at a single place).
Here is the way i want to access my fonts :
File userConfigFile = new
File(PDFRenderer.class.getResource("/ressources/fop-config/userconfig.xml").getFile()); \
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("fontBaseDir","ressources/fop-fonts/"); \
Then in my userconfig.xml file :
<font metrics-file="helvetica-narrow.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="Type1Fonts/HVB_____.PFB">
<font-triplet name="Helvetica" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
</font>
Everything is working ok when my application isn't embedded in a JAR
file...
But once I launch it within a JAR (and a manifest file, which is the
classical way for deploying java application here), it seems FOP have a
problem to localise my custom fonts file in a relative way ! Here is the
console output :
[ERROR] Failed to read a font metrics file: Invalid font metrics file:
helvetica-narrow.xml (no protocol: helvetica-narrow.xml)
How can I use the class loader to load my custom fonts (this way I already
can load images, config files and other resources directly embedded in my
"final" jar file) ?
Sorry if this problem was already solved, I didn't find it in the
archives.
Waiting for answers, I will look the source code to see how FOP loads
custom fonts... :o)
Help please ! ^^
Symon
