how to change the font-family in XSLT file

[prashant fusate]

I have created xml to pdf using xslt now I have problem of changing the font of generated pdf file.

How can I change the font of generated pdf file.

How can I specify the font-family in xslt file so that generated pdf file will be in that specified font.

This is nothing to do with XSLT per-say. Consult the documentation for whatever API you use to create your PDF.

If you are asking about XSL-FO, I just searched the web and found out that the <fo:block> element can have a font-family attribute.

Dear Paul Clapham
Thanks for your update.

But when I used font-family="arial" at that time it does not make any sence.
because arial is not a standerd font for FOP.So how can I used my winodows font to genrate the output PDF file

Thank you

Is the problem this? You may need to keep a font configuration file.

Hi,

Thanks for the document,
But my problem is something different I want to register windows font with FOP.

To do that I have genrated respective xml files(arial.xml,arialdb.xml ) by using windows arial.ttf file

java -cp build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework.jar;lib\xml-apis.jar;
lib\xercesImpl.jar;lib\xalan.jar
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader enc ansi D:\iBOLT2.5sp6b\projects\PDFArial\fop-config\font\ariali.ttf D:/iBOLT2.5sp6b/projects/PDFArial/fop-config\xml\ariali.xml

and specified genrated xml file in configuration file(i.e userconfig.xml ) to register the windows font in FOP.

by doing all this thing also I am not get output pdf with arial font

Could you please suggest what is wrong I am doing here.

I am not get output pdf with arial font

What does this mean? Are there exceptions during PDF generation? Does the text not show up in the PDF? Does it appear in some other font? When viewing the font, are all desired fonts accessible?

unknown font Arial,normal,normal so defaulted font to any
