  • 1.  Font for the info part different than for the rest and the colophon

    Posted 01-29-2019 13:01
    Hi,

    I could nail down hopefully the last problem I have:

    in the Info part of my book there is

    <copyright>
                <year>2019</year>
                <holder>Bernhard Kleine</holder>
            </copyright>

    This gives in the final pdf

    In the colophon I have written

    <para>Copyright © 2019 Bernhard Kleine, Lenzkirch</para>

    which transforms to

    Note that the copyright symbols are from different fonts, the latter is
    from the Alegreya font used throughout the book. I want to have the
    first copyright symbol in the same font. How can that be achieved with
    docbook (and oxygen)?

    Kind regards

    Bernhard

    The culprit is in the fo visible:

    <fo:block font-size="10pt">Copyright <fo:inline></fo:inline>
    font-family="serif,Alegreya, Symbol,ZapfDingbats">© 2019
    Bernhard Kleine</fo:block>

    the serif in front of Alegreya.

    The generated copyright symbol uses a template named 'dingbat' in
    fo/fo.xsl.  It sets the font-family to the $dingbat.fontset which is
    defined in fo/pagesetup.xsl.  That fontset  starts with the font named
    in $dingbat.font.family which is defined in param.xsl.  Reset that param
    to blank to fix it.

    I remember a time when such hacks were common and reasonable, but is it not now past time where we can safely assume reasonable code point coverage in fonts?

    I get that there are poor-quality fonts or those that were designed back in the 8-bit character days, but do you want to be using those in DocBook applications, anyway?

    And if it is not yet time to pull all those hacks out, then when?
