TTF issues Pro Eval Version 3.8 vs 3.7

#26662

I have run into an issue ‘upgrading’ from pd4ml 3.70fx2 to 3.8. I am using the Pro evaluation verions. I am using TTF fonts and what worked in 3.7 no longer does in 3.8. I am using just a basic Java app rendering a test html page. Both are attached. Changing only the pd4ml library, the ‘Arial Narrow MT’ font now renders as plain Arial.

Debug output:

Here is the simple html file:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>TI</title>
<style type="text/css">
*{font-family:"Arial";font-size:12px;vertical-align: top;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Default font<br><br>
<div style="font-family:'Arial';">Arial</div>
<div style="font-family:'Arial';font-weight:bold;">Arial Bold</div>
<div style="font-family:'Arial';font-style:italic">Arial Italic</div>
<div style="font-family:'Arial';font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">Arial Bold Italic</div>
<br>
<div style="font-family:'Arial Narrow MT';">Arial Narrow</div>
<div style="font-family:'Arial Narrow MT';font-weight:bold;">Arial Narrow Bold</div>
<div style="font-family:'Arial Narrow MT';font-style:italic">Arial Narrow Italic</div>

<div style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">Franklin Gothic Medium Bold Italic</div>
</body>
</html>

and the properties file:

#Mon Jan 23 14:51:00 EST 2012
Franklin Gothic Medium=Franklin Gothic Medium.ttf
Franklin Gothic Medium Italic=Franklin Gothic Medium Italic.ttf
Arial=Arial.ttf
Arial Bold=Arial Bold.ttf
Arial Bold Italic=Arial Bold Italic.ttf
Arial Italic=Arial Italic.ttf
Arial Narrow MT=ArialNarrow.ttf
Arial Narrow MT Bold=ArialNarrow-Bold.ttf
Arial Narrow MT Bold Italic=ArialNarrow-BoldItalic.ttf
Arial Narrow MT Italic=ArialNarrow-Italic.ttf

I’d appreciate any help. Thanks.

We’ve just published a new version of PD4ML, which also addresses some TTF substitution issues. Please give it a try and let us know if it solves the problem on your side.

Yes, the new version did fix that issue. Thanks.
