Hello,

I have tried to update princexml on my server and I have some problems.

With prince-6.0r6-sol10x86, everything works fine.
With prince-6.0r8-sol10x86, it does not work.

I am using the solaris version.

I obtain the error :

prince: internal error: no available fonts

or

prince: warning: no glyphs for character U+0057, fallback to '?'
prince: internal error: no fallback glyph for character U+0057

I've got police true type install on the server.

How can I resolve the problem ? I don't want to modify fonts.css.

I have bought a license of the software.

Thanks,

That's strange, it doesn't seem to be detecting any fonts with Fontconfig. Can you verify that the Prince binary is still linked against the Fontconfig library? For example, run "ldd /usr/lib/prince/bin/prince" and see if the output includes a line like this:

libfontconfig.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1

Also, how about trying the new beta version of Prince 7.0 on your server?

The prince binary is still linked to Font Config Library :

Prince7 is not stable. I want to work with stable version.

Thanks,
Fran
P.S : Sorry for my poor english.

Hmm, that looks fine, and both versions correctly scan for fonts when we run them here.

At this point Prince 7.0 is probably more stable than 6.0, as well as being faster and more correct, so it would be worth trying it out and seeing if this solves the problem.

Thanks for your answer.

I have tried Prince 7.0 and it's working.
Concerning this problem, what is the difference between prince-6.0r8-sol10x86 and prince-7.0b1-sol10x86 ?

When do you plan to release Prince 7.0 ?

Thanks,
François

In terms of Fontconfig there should be no difference, so I am surprised that 6.0 rev 8 is not properly scanning fonts for you.

Prince 7.0 supports OpenType fonts, including layout features like kerning and ligatures, Arabic and Indic shaping, bidirectional text layout for mixing right-to-left and left-to-right scripts, and has better font scanning support on Windows and MacOS X.

Prince 7.0 also includes a TeX-style justification algorithm which should produce more balanced paragraph layouts when justification and hyphenation are enabled.
