Adding Additional Fonts?

nadams
I have added custom fonts to RHEL 7. But for some reason when I try and process a HTML file and run --debug I don't see Prince registering the new fonts. Any help would be appreciated.

Does the font family show up if you run "fc-list FamilyName" on the command-line?
nadams
Yes, they show up when I run fc-list from the command line.

But it doesn't work if you try a simple document like this:
<html>
<body style="font-family: FamilyName">
simple text here
</body>
</html>

and run "prince --verbose test.html" to see which fonts are being used?
nadams
Yes, that didn't appear to work from what I understand.

What is the name of the fonts? Does Prince print any error or warning messages? Can you paste the log output you get when running Prince with the --verbose option?
nadams
During the test, I had a typo in my FamilyName. I just tried it again and the test worked. I will work with the developer to do more testing.

I ran the following:
./prince --verbose test.html

I got the following verbose information:
prince: loading document: /opt/prince/lib/prince/license/license.dat
prince: Loading document...
prince: loading HTML5 input: test.html
prince: loading document: test.html
prince: Applying style sheets...
prince: Preparing document...
prince: Converting document...
prince: used font: Pahoran ldsLat, Roman
prince: Finished: success

What is the best way to use all the fonts in the family? For example I want to use the fonts below listed when I do an 'fc-list".

Pahoran ldsLat:style=Roman,Regular
Pahoran ldsLat,Pahoran ldsLat Condensed:style=Condensed Roman,Regular
Pahoran ldsLat:style=Italic
Pahoran ldsLat,Pahoran ldsLat Condensed:style=Condensed Bold,Bold
Pahoran ldsLat,Pahoran ldsLat Condensed:style=Condensed Italic,Italic
Pahoran ldsLat:style=Bold Italic
Pahoran ldsLat,Pahoran ldsLat Condensed:style=Condensed Bold Italic,Bold Italic
Pahoran ldsLat:style=Bold

You should be able to use them by specifying various combinations of these CSS properties:
font-family: "Pahoran IdsLat";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
font-stretch: condensed;

That did the trick. Thank you for your help!
