Extra fonts in the JVM

I am programming an applet, where the user can input a string in an input box and then from a drop down menu select a font. Something a little similar to http://javaboutique.internet.com/aFont/.
My problem is, that on my JVM for example, there are only five different fonts to choose from. So, how do I present the user for many more fonts?
Alternatively, is there extra fonts download place for JVM's, so that I can guide the user to download and install more fonts.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Birger.

try this:
JComboBox fontList = null;
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String[] fontNames = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
fontList = new JComboBox(fontNames);
fontList.setSelectedItem("Default");
fontList.addActionListener((ActionListener)this);

How can i reload font information while the jvm is running.

l.s.
how can i reload font information while the jvm is running.
I'm having the following problem...
A program is running.
A user installs a new font on the system (Xwindows in this case)
Java doesn't display the font when i ask :
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();Thus i think that java buffers its font information somewhere. Anyone knows how to refresh te buffer?
many thanks

On the printing slowness of Postscript produced by the JVM from calls to Graphics.drawString() (Linux/Unix)

Happy new year,
before the holidays my attention was drawn to an issue that supposedly the Postscript produced by the JVM is too big and hence too slow. Here are my findings.
The issue
Text printing via CUPS to native Postscript printers can be slow. Printing a terms and conditions page (17000 characters/page) takes three and a half minutes to print on a Dell 2330 dn laser printer (96 MB,Max speed 33 ppm). The file is about 8 MB in size. To contrast that, rendering the text to a buffered image with 300 DPI and printing the result produces 7 MB of output which prints in 30 seconds on the same printer. More measures for different printers and documents can be found at the end of this post. The issues is registered as "JDK-4627340 : RFE: A way to improve text printing performance for postscript devices" (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4627340) and the proposed workaround is to use printer fonts.
Side remark regarding the workaround
There is a regression that prevents the workaround from working (bug 9008662 at Sun (not yet visible), bug 8023990 at OpenJDK (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023990). Without knowing what other bad side effects this might have, the issue can be resolved by setting the property "sun.awt.fontconfig". On my system I set it to the location of a "fontconfig.properties" of a JVM that does not have the bug (e.g. /home/alex/openjdk_7_b147_jun_11/openjdk/build/linux-i586/bin/java -Dsun.awt.fontconfig="/etc/java-6-openjdk/fontconfig.properties" Print2DtoStream). I also successfully tested the workaround on an Oracle JVM 1.7.0_03-b04.
Back to the main topic
How the JVM draws text if it can't use a standard printer font
Text is drawn with postscript path drawning commands such as "moveto", "lineto" or "curveto". As an example consider the word "ll" which looks something like this:
%N->short for "newpath"
N
%paint first "l"
%M->short for "moveto"
0.76875 11.06 M
%L->short for "lineto"
0.76875 2.468 L
1.823 2.468 L
1.823 11.06 L
0.76875 11.06 L
%p->short for "closepath"
P
%paint second "l"
3.649 11.06 M
3.649 2.468 L
4.703 2.468 L
4.703 11.06 L
3.649 11.06 L
P
The same text could be printed with a printer font using the command "(ll) show" which is much more compact but is available in Java only for the Postscript standard fonts and it isn't working at all right now as explained above.
Is it the file size?
My first thought was that the file size was the source of of slowness and so I wrote a small processor that would detect glyphs, normalize*1 them and place them in a dictionary. Recurring references to the same glyph were replaced by a dictionary reference (This is incidentally the fix proposed by the original author of RFE 4627340). This shrunk the file to about 11% of the original size but the processing time surprisingly doubled.
*1: With "normalizing" I mean applying a translation transform so that the smallest coordinates in the contours of a glyph are exactly 0. In addition I experimented with performing a normalizing scale transform so that all coordinates lie between 0 and 1 so that identical glyphs are detected at arbitrary positions and at different font sizes.
That led to the question to why there is such a big difference in performance between a Type 1 font dictionary and a self constructed dictionary since both contain basically the same drawing instructions. The difference is apparently that fonts are cached and user drawings are not unless explicitly told.
The Postscript "ucache" instruction
Postscript level 2 introduces the "ucache" instruction which seems to be defined for precisely this kind of problem. From the documentation:
"Some PostScript programs define paths that are repeated many times. To optimize the interpretation of such paths, the PostScript language provides a facility called the user path cache. This cache, analogous to the font cache, retains the results from previously interpreted user path definitions. When the PostScript interpreter encounters a user path that is already in the cache, it substitutes the cached results instead of reinterpreting the path definition. "
After adding "ucache" instructions to my filter the speed improved by factor 10.
To illustrate the said the "ll" text from above looked as follows after the transformation:
%definition of the glyph "l" named "p0"
/p0
ucache
0.000 0.000 1.054 8.592 setbbox
0.000 8.592 moveto
0.000 0.000 lineto
1.054 0.000 lineto
1.054 8.592 lineto
0.000 8.592 lineto
closepath
} cvlit def
G
N
0.769 2.468 translate
%draw "l" at 0.769 2.468
p0 ufill
-0.769 -2.468 translate
3.649 2.468 translate
%draw "l" at 3.649 2.468
p0 ufill
-3.649 -2.468 translate
For ucached shapes there is a special compact representation so that the same can be written as follows:
/p0
0.000 0.000 1.054 8.592
0.000 8.592
0.000 0.000
1.054 0.000
1.054 8.592
0.000 8.592
} cvlit def
G
N
0.769 2.468 translate
p0 ufill
-0.769 -2.468 translate
3.649 2.468 translate
p0 ufill
-3.649 -2.468 translate
Interestingly the speed improvement remained the same on a Chinese report that had hardly any character reuse. Upon this observation I changed the filter to not use a dictionary but so simply instruct the interpreter to cache each glyph definition and the performance remained nearly the same.
The initial "ll" text from above looks as follows after this transformation:
N
%paint first "l" cached
0.76875 2.468 1.823 11.06
0.76875 11.06
0.76875 2.468
1.823 2.468
1.823 11.06
0.76875 11.06
} ufill
%paint second "l" cached
3.649 2.468 4.703 11.06
3.649 11.06
3.649 2.468
4.703 2.468
4.703 11.06
3.649 11.06
} ufill
Note that I didn't normalize the shapes.
Why does this improve the performance so vastly if the shape is drawn only once? For a while I thought perhaps that the interpreter would consider two paths which differ only by a translation as being the same but rereading the documentation and looking at the Chinese example in which nearly all characters are unique, disproves this. The relevant part of the documentation reads:
"Caching is based on the value of a user path object. That is, two user paths are considered the same for caching purposes if all of their corresponding elements are equal, even if the objects themselves are not.
A user path placed in the cache need not be explicitly retained in virtual memory. An equivalent user path appearing literally later in the program can take advantage of the cached information. Of course, if it is known that a given user path will be used many times, defining it explicitly in VM avoids creating it multiple times.
User path caching, like font caching, is effective across translations of the user coordinate system, but not across other transformations, such as scaling or rotation. In other words, multiple instances of a given user path painted at different places on the page will take advantage of the user path cache when the current transformation matrix has been altered only by translate. If the CTM has been altered by scale or rotate , the instances will be treated as if they were described by different user paths."
An explanation that would fit the findings
The rasterizer renders the page multiple time (perhaps in order to save memory and produce horizontal strips). On the first rendering the cache is filled and reused on the subsequent renderings thereby improving performance even if all cached items are used only once.
Based upon this theory I hoped that the strip height would grow if I added more memory to the printer but this was not the case on the two printers for which I had memory to test with. Even substantial changes to the available memory (e.g. going from 32 MB to 96 MB) had no impact whatsoever on the performance.
Summary
The issue is not related to the file size as the original requester suspected but very likely due to the uncached rendering. Caching of glyphs can be achieved by using the "ucache" instruction or perhaps by placing the glyphs in font dictionaries and using the "show" operator.
Although reported in 2003, time is apparently not healing this quick enough since printers in the 10,000$ class like the Sharp MX2310U still take a full minute to print 10 pages and a desktop printer may be blocked for over an hour for the same document.
We will now try to use the CUPS filter and leave the printers configured as Postscript printers. If there is interest I can post the single file source of a CUPS filter that performs the inline conversion described. Apart from libl it requires no additional libraries and written using flex it is reasonably lightweight and fast.
I would appreciate any opinion on whether or not the proposed workaround for bug 8023990 (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023990), namely having the system property "sun.awt.fontconfig" pointing to a working fontconfig.properties of a previously installed and working 1.6 version file, is safe.
Measures (Appendix)
"Terms and Conditions" report
Testing a single page "Terms and Conditions" report in "Arial" 8pt (I am aware that "Helvetica" is width compatible and nearly looks the same but in this particular case the line height was also relevant and as explained above, printer fonts are currently not working). The page contains 17000 characters of which some parts are bold and some italic. This is a real world example and to make things worse the requirement is to print the text on the backside of every page on a certain class of reports. I am aware that this is a bit extreme but I also felt that I couldn't dismiss it as being unreasonable.

This is a nonsense stress test but it illustrates that the "ucache" speedup works even though no character is repeated in the report.

Hi Sven,
Will putting the boilerplate in the trailer section allow me to still have it appearing on the back page of the main report? This is where it needs to be as far as the printed report goes - it is duplexed.

[Solved] Openbox's rc.xml error "Extra content at the end of document"

I have a rather silly problem with Openbox.
I'm not a programming genius so, for me, dealing with XML is a pain but I usually manage to get OB's menus and other docs to work. Ive been banging my head into a wall of xml trying to add my own entry to OpenBox's rc.xml file. All I want to add is an Xfce terminal centred on my Twinview desktop. I've done it in the past but right now I can't get the rc.xml file to work. Whenever I re-configure OpenBox I get the following message spit out at me:
Extra content at the end of document on line ###
So far, this is what I've attempted to get this to work:
- I have tried recopying a new rc.xml from /etc/xdg/openbox to my home directory's ~/.config/openbox. I was assuming I'd botched it entirely and started over from the beginning.
- I have cut/copy/pasted the commented paragraph, above my entry, with the same co-ordinates and with the "force position" set to "yes."
-I've googled this error but I only found one or two semi-relevant hits (from this forum no less!) Unfortunately I did not find a fix to the issue or a reason as to why this error crops up
I know that it's probably something that is easily missed but I honestly can't see it. I'm hoping someone on the forum will have run across this issue before and had it fixed. Below is a copy of my current rc.xml.

You can use whatever tool you prefer - for someone already using emacs, emacs is a natural choice. Simple, easy to use online tools exist e.g. http://schneegans.de/sv/
Just upload the file in question ('Validate by file upload' option) and click 'Validate':

Googling 'xml validation' should give you some more tools / services if this one is not good enough.

How can I see what I'm actually video recording on iPad Air so that I don't include extra stuff at the borders of the image? It seems to automatically "zoom in" on the screen, but when I export the video, the picture isn't framed well.

When I try to record a video on the Ipad Air, the screen automatically "zooms in" closer than when I'm taking a photo. So I frame the interview and record it. But when I export it to post it or edit it, I discover that only the screen was zoomed in, the camera wasn't, so I have all this extra stuff around the edges of my frame.
I don't need to zoom in, but I do need to be able to see what I'm shooting--otherwise, as I'm videotaping, I'm guessing at my picture's framing. But every time I switch from photo to video mode, the screen "zooms in." How can I see what I'm actually recording?
I've been searching for an answer for this for a while, but I can't find any responses to it! Thanks.

Why com.sun.CORBA.ORBServerHost can not be cleared after the JVM is closed?

run an application on a multiple IPs windows box. In order to initialize the ORB on the right IP, i set the com.sun.CORBA.ORBServerHost property at the app startup.
If the right IP is set, then the software works fine as expected. Btut ionce the wrong IP is set, the software won't work even if I restart it with the right parameter. It looks like the new value just does not take effect.
And until the box is rebooted, the new parameter will take effect. As per my understanding, this parameter should be set at a JVM level and will be cleared after the JVM is shutdown......
Have no idea how to fix this issue and even don't know where to start to investigate it?
Would you please provide any suggestion on it? Thx in advance.

I had the same problem when I upgraded to snv_114 from snv_98
on SPARC. The important line in /var/dt/Xerrors is this one:
could not open default font 'fixed'
The problem (in my case, anyway) was that the fonts.dir files were
not updated during the install/upgrade process. This fixed it:
$ su -
# cd /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts
# for f in *; do cd $f; mkfontdir; cd -; done

Save as PDF feature creates extra frame around the tables

I am creating a large catalog with black + 1PMS color.
If I use the Save As PDF feature in Frame 9, I get an extra line around the Price portion of MOST (not all) of my tables. If I use the Distiller process, the extra line is not there, but the PDF file does not hold the color separations.
Has anyone else come across these issues or have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thank you,

If you are trying to use the new SaveAsPDF CMYK option, forget it. It is sorely broken in many aspects (just search this forum), especially when dealing with tables and OTFPro fonts.
Go back to an RGB based workflow (i.e. ensure that the "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" option is checked in the PDF Setup) and use a third-party tool to deal with the results. Some choices would be:
- Acrobat 9 Pro has some even stronger pre-flighting and colour handling features now, but Acrobat 8was no slouch either
- Enfocus' PitStopPro is extremely powerful for fixing up colours: http://www.enfocus.com/product.php?id=855
- Grafikhuset's PubliPDF tool allows you to set up conversions for the RGB by printing to a queue and then post-processing the postscript prior to handing off to Distiller for PDF creation: http://www.grafikhuset.net/PubliPDF/
- Quite Software's Quite a Box of Tricks let's yuou do colour conversions: http://www.quite.com/box/features.htm

Loading MT Extra font from MS Office 2008 dmg

Hi all. I recently installed MS Office 2008 for Mac, but chose not to install the fonts because I did not want to corrupt my iMac. I do, however, need one of the fonts that MS Office has, namely the MT Extra font (for Equation Editor). Does anyone know how to safely install it from the MS Office dmg? Thanks.

This question is completely relevant. I fail to see how font compatibility between Windows and Mac OS X doesn't belong in this section.
OP, if you're worried about downloading fonts as part of the Office package, try downloading it separately either by searching from Google or using this link:
http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/mt-extra.htm
It's less likely to cause you problems. However, there are applications available should you want to check for corrupt fonts on your Mac.

Newer version of MT Extra Font needed

When I open both MathType and Word's Equation Editor I get a warning saying that I need a newer version of the MT Extra Font than is currently active. I should reinstall MathType, although it was installed only less than a month ago, or manually disable the older version located in Library:Fonts:Equation Editor Fonts. Can't find any info on this on the Web. Any suggestions?

Have you by chance seen this article? http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn84.htm

Extra Fonts in Pages

Can anyone point me to a reference which lists all the extra fonts which are installed by iWork 06, either Pages or Keynote or both?

Hi Tom,
anytime you install software via the installer.app
you can call up a list of all files to be installed
and where they will be placed on your system. In this
example, double click on the iWork installer package
(if you have it. Or are you dealing with a
pre-installation?). In the installer.app go to
File>Show Files. This works for all installations
that use the installer.app. The list of files is even
searchable.
For iWork 06, the package installs the following font
files in the following locations:
./Library/Fonts/Academy Engraved LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/Bank Gothic
./Library/Fonts/Blackmoor LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/BlairMdITC TT-Medium
./Library/Fonts/Bodoni Ornaments ITC TT
./Library/Fonts/Bodoni SvtyTwo ITC TT
./Library/Fonts/Bodoni SvtyTwo OS ITC TT
./Library/Fonts/Bodoni SvtyTwo SC ITC TT
./Library/Fonts/Bordeaux Roman Bold LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/Bradley Hand ITC TT-Bold
./Library/Fonts/Jazz LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/Mona Lisa Solid ITC TT
./Library/Fonts/Palatino
./Library/Fonts/Party LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/PortagoITC TT
./Library/Fonts/Princetown LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/Santa Fe LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/Savoye LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/SchoolHouse Cursive B.suit
./Library/Fonts/SchoolHouse Printed A
./Library/Fonts/Snell Roundhand
./Library/Fonts/Stone Sans ITC TT
./Library/Fonts/Synchro LET Fonts
./Library/Fonts/Type Embellishmnt One LET
Hope this helps.
Pardon me, this sounds useful but I am not quite following the instructions. If I "double-click" on the installer package will that not run it? Then you say "In the installer.app" I am not sure what to make of "in". Do you mean in Finder do this? Sorry to be so dense, but I really want to understand this. Cheers!

How does the JVM call Windows GDI Text functions?

I need to find out how the JVM calls Windows GDI functions for Java running on Windows. I am a programmer at an imaging software company and we "hook" to client applications to extract information for searching and indexing. Basically what we do is tell the app to refresh itself and then we intercept the text output functions to the GDI. Recently, when trying to image enable an Oracle app (Sun JVM or bastard version thereof), we failed to capture any text output. None of the documented MS GDI text output functions are being called to display that text. Does anyone with an intimate knowledge of the workings of the JVM on a Windows platform know how this is accomplished. I currently have calls pending at Sun and Microsoft, but sometimes these forums have more info than they do. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. ([email protected])
Jason Nix

I would venture to say that SUN is generating its own
text. That would be necessary in order to handle all
of the sizing and layout management issues which
happen in Java real time, as opposed to Windows once
at compile time.Not likely. Font rendering is always done at runtime and it would be generally unwise to do it yourself given the availability of TrueType fonts and the highly optimized rendering engines. I would be shocked if Sun tried to do it themselves.

A good about the JVM

I went to local B&N and they had no books with "JVM" or "Java Virtual Machine" in the title. Amazon has stuff from 2002.
Does a good book about the jvm exist?
What should i read to learn about some of the fine points of java?

I like books. I spend enough time looking at a screen, thanks. That's a weak argument, and so is the info in books compared to the Internet. In any case, it sounds like you need a new screen. There's a new invention called a printer. Do you understand the concept "people are not all the same"? Seems to me you have difficulty accepting anyone else might have a valid opinion on anything unless it matches your own. It isn't in the least bit weak, I don't like staring at screens all the time. Printer? You seriously want to keep track of thousands of pages of printed work?
You also called someone else patronising in another thread. Interesting, although your position on that diminishes now
I avoid it where I can now. Well thanks for saving the trees!You're welcome. I was thinking more "save my eyes"
Plus, books can be read where you might not want to take a PC or other electronic device, or it isn't practical. I quite enjoy curling up on the sofa with a book, or in the summer, lounging around the garden with one. I feel sorry for anyone that goes into their garden to read the printed version of the VM spec. If i'm in my garden I'm meditating, not reading techy crap. I don't want to say "get a life" but I can't imagine spending my off-time (in an airplane or a garden etc.) reading tech stuff.You never read tech stuff out of work? That'll explain why you're so closed to new ideas, then. Personally, I find a judicious hour here and there reading tech stuff at home goes a long way, since I don't really have time to digest a book at work. I find time to meditate, too, thanks. It's called balance, and if it's good enough for the universe, it's good enough for me. Cockburn isn't particularly techie, anyway. I used to have your attitude - work is work, and it stays there - and got nowhere, and eventually realised I hated my job. A teenie amount of extra-curricular work, and my income has virtually doubled in the space of a couple of years, and I don't have to worry about doing jobs I hate any more. Call me an idiot if you like, but that sounds like a worthwhile investment to me
I also like having a visible collection of stuff I supposedly know about. Looking at my library of tech books is a nice A-Z of where my career has been so far. I've got a Safari account, but it's nice to have something tangible for your moneyYou tree killer!!! How could you?! :)Because I am actively seeking to increase my carbon footprint, and this is a nice obtuse way of doing it

Multi CPU and the JVM

Hi:
This question might very simple.
If my platform has two or more CPU like a Solaris system. Does the JVM take
advantage of these extra CPU ?

Ubuntu-like fonts in the system

Hello everyone!
I've recently installed and setup Arch and am already loving it with all the customization it can offer. The only thing I currently don't like is fonts. I've been using Ubuntu in the last 3 years approximately and admit it, got used to it pretty much. Google search results for example look kinda ugly for me now. I've read a lot of similar threads here, but didn't really find an answer. Sure, applying a good fontconfig helped a bit and fonts do look better, but it's still not really what I exactly would like to have.
My specs:
Old laptop: 1366x768 resolution (15.6"), Radeon proprietary drivers, Ubuntu 13.10 (yeah, had bad experience with updating and just didn't get to it, shame on me!), no extra font setup.
New laptop: 1920x1080 resolution (15.6"), Intel i915 driver, Gnome 3.14, default example fontconfig from Wiki page (this made it look a bit better). I also installed ttf-ubuntu-font-family, to no avail.
Some other information: In gnome-tweak-tool I set font scaling factor to 1.1, this also made stuff a bit better. I use Firefox and had to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.3 to have bigger overall look. It's the same in Ubuntu with Firefox, text is small, but this "tweak" fixes it, so it's not a real problem. It's good in Win8.1 by default though.
Based on what I read this is not just a one-sider problem I think, I mean DPI, resolution, font rendering, the actual font, scaling, etc. might too play a role in here. Since I have no fonts, DPI and similar stuff experience, I don't even no where to start looking into this. What could be the problem? If you need any more information, please ask.
Thanks in advance!

So check it, e.g.:
$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot

resolution: 120x120 dots per inch
Read the Infinality threads, for tons of info.
Thanks for the suggestion! Now playing with this, found some interesting stuff. By default, even if I set DisplaySize to correct ones in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf, it shows 96 dpi and some weird 508x286 mms if started with GDM (both in Gnome and XFCE4). Now if I start gnome(/xfce4)-session in .xinitrc and use startx, it reads 142 fine in XFCE4, but not in Gnome. Xft.dpi setting also seem to be totally ignored by Gnome, but not in XFCE4 if I don't use custom setting.
Edit: Same applies for awesome, if started from GDM, it totally ignores my settings.

How can I get the example fonts from the font file Programmatically?

Hi Friends,
         I am doing one mac application for the fonts management. Now I would like to Preview the Font in the NSTextView. This is my coding for the textView.
    NSTextView *text3=[[NSTextView alloc]initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(250,500,450,30)];
    [text3 setString:@"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"];
    [text3 setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"GangofThree" size:40]];
    [[[self window] contentView] addSubview:text3];
Because I have set the string in English for the NSTextView I can't able to view the other languages characters.I got the character set of the font file by using this code.
   NSCharacterSet *characterset = (NSCharacterSet *) CTFontCopyCharacterSet (fontRef);
This Font is greek font.Now My question is how can I able to get the greek characters from this characterset.

Your text string would certainly have to be in Greek itself, not Latin. No normal font just translates Latin letters to Greek, they use other codepoints reserved for Greek letters.
