It looks like if I want to have embedded fonts I need to generate a
"font matrics file".
Here how I have been trying to do that ...

[plankton@dell002 BOOKS]$ cat MakeFontMatrixFile.sh
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_02
JAVA=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
FOP_HOME=/usr/share/java
CP=$FOP_HOME/fop.jar:\
$FOP_HOME/avalon-framework.jar

#PFM_FILE=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/helvetic/uhvb8a.pfb
PFM_FILE=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lm/lmb10.pfm
$JAVA -cp $CP \
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.PFMReader -enc ansi $PFM_FILE my_font_matrix_file.xml

... the problem I am having is that lmb10.pfm is not the pfm file for
Helvetic-Bold, Helvetica or Times-Roman. Where are the pfm files for
these fonts?

Thanks

I have had a minor success. I realized that I do not have to use
Helvetic-Bold, Helvetica or Times-Roman (At least I hope I do not.)
Because I was able to subsitutue Times-Roman for
LMRomanDemi10-Regular. This is the font in the lmb10.pfm PFM file.
What I had to do was this ...

Edit my userconfig.xml like so ...

# cd /usr/share/fop/conf/
# cp userconfig.xml userconfig.xml_20070919
# vim userconfig.xml
# diff userconfig.xml userconfig.xml_20070919

Go to the directory where I have my stuff ...

[plankton@dell002 ~]$ cd NOTES/COOP/LULU_BOOKS/

Add this line to my customization style sheet file ...

<xsl:param name="body.font.family">LMRomanDemi10-Regular</xsl:param>

... here's my complete customization style sheet ....

[plankton@dell002 LULU_BOOKS]$ cat style_pdf.xsl

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"

<xsl:import href="/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/fo/docbook.xsl"/>
<xsl:param name="body.font.family">LMRomanDemi10-Regular</xsl:param>

<xsl:param name="shade.verbatim" select="1"></xsl:param>
<xsl:attribute-set name="shade.verbatim.style">

<xsl:attribute name="background-color">#EFF8F8</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
<xsl:param name="hyphenate">false</xsl:param>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Now I generate my font matrix file:

Now I need to know how to replace the Helvetica fonts ... anyone have
any good suggestions on which font and how I need to edit my
customization style sheet file?

Thanks.
Also I would like to thank
http://www.getnet.com/~swhitlat/DocBook/XSL_Project_XSL_FOP.php
for providing a example of the customized style sheet and Bob for
pointing me to http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/fonts.html

Hi,

You appear to be on a Linux box. Install the gsfonts package (“Fonts for
the Ghostscript interpreter(s)”). You will get clones of the 35
well-known Postscript fonts, among which the base 14 PDF fonts (Times,
Helvetica, Courier...).
Go to the directory where these fonts are installed (probably
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts)
$ grep FullName *.afm
You will get, for each file, the name of the font described in it.
“Nimbus Roman No9 L” corresponds to Times, ”Nimbus Sans L” to Helvetica,
“Nimbus Mono L” to Courier. Pick up the corresponding pfm files and
generate the xml metrics like you did. You’re done.

HTH,
Vincent

Thanks Vincent,

I am using FC6 and there does seem to be a gsfonts rpm available on my
yum server.
There is a ghostscript rpm and I have that installed but it doesn't seem to have
files for the Helvetica fonts. I decided to give up on Helvetica fonts and just
use the the Roman font I found. To make sure that all fonts used in my PDF
I did this in my custome style sheet ...

<xsl:param name="body.font.family">LMRomanDemi10-Regular</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="title.font.family">LMRomanDemi10-Regular</xsl:param>

and this in my userconf.xml file ...

<fonts>




</fonts>
... now when I make my PDF I get this output from pdffonts ...

[plankton@dell002 LULU_BOOKS]$ pdffonts ideal_bartender_g.pdf
name type emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
LMRomanDemi10-Regular Type 1 yes no no 116 0
LMRomanDemi10-Regular Type 1 yes no no 120 0

... and this acceptable to lulu.com so its ok by me :)
