Re: [Swftools-common] PDF2SWF 0.9.2 How to add TTF font

[Yonglin Li]

My command to convert is as follows.

/usr/local/bin/pdf2swf -vv -F /usr/local/share/swftools/fonts -F 
/usr/local/share/swftools/fonts/bold -F /usr/local/share/swftools/fonts/italic 
/tmp/Verdana.pdf /tmp/result.swf > /tmp/info.txt

The debug info is dumped into a file. And something strange is that it said

VERBOSE Adding font "/usr/local/share/swftools/fonts/bold/Verdana,Bold.ttf".
VERBOSE Adding font 
"/usr/local/share/swftools/fonts/italic/Verdana,BoldItalic.ttf".
DEBUG   Adding font /usr/local/share/swftools/fonts/bold/Verdana,Bold.ttf to 
fontconfig
DEBUG   Adding font 
/usr/local/share/swftools/fonts/italic/Verdana,BoldItalic.ttf to fontconfig

VERBOSE looking for font Verdana,Bold
DEBUG   FontConfig: Looking for font Verdana,Bold (family=Verdana style=Bold)
VERBOSE Font Verdana,Bold maps to /usr/local/share/swftools/fonts/Verdana.ttf
VERBOSE looking for font Verdana,BoldItalic
DEBUG   FontConfig: Looking for font Verdana,BoldItalic (family=Verdana,Bold 
style=Italic)
VERBOSE Font Verdana,BoldItalic not found
DEBUG   Font Verdana,BoldItalic-27-0 has space char 0 (unicode=32)
DEBUG   Font Verdana,BoldItalic-27-0
DEBUG   |   Name: Verdana,BoldItalic-27-0


What I cannot understand is that pdf2swf cannot find the font but it shows it 
added. So can you gurus tell me what option I missed to configure that. Or 
where shall I put the fonts and how to configure the font information for 
pdf2swf.

Why this happened? "Font Verdana,Bold maps to 
/usr/local/share/swftools/fonts/Verdana.ttf"?

Thanks!

Yonglin

Anything intersting in the log messages if you run pdf2swf with the "-vv" 
option?
