Using font.properties to map custom in-house true type fonts

Hi all,
I'm currently attempting to get Forms Server to display a custom fonts called TH Sans Serif which is MS Sans Serif modified for our special needs. We need to show a whole array of fonts which caters for Rumanian, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, Western European fonts amongst others. Problem is that the font.properties file (loaded with Jinitiator to be found under %Jinitiator_Home%\lib) maps 4 fonts (Monospaced, SansSerif, Serif, Dialog) that are used in the registry.dat file. Apparently reading from newsgroups it is possible to set one of these four mappings to your own custom font. Haven't unfortunately found a success case yet. Can anyone help.
Any suggested websites or newsgroups dealing with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Mapping Custom datatypes

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to map custom datatypes.My scenario is simple.Employee table has address information in a column named addr which is of a custom datatype called Address.I have Employee and Address classes in my object model.
I have mapped all the fields (except address) of employee class to respective fields in employee table and I have used the Descriptor amendment method to map the address field of employee class using StructureMapping
StructureMapping mapping = new StructureMapping();
mapping.setFieldName("ADDR"); // Database Field Name in employee table
mapping.setAttributeName("addr"); //Address field in Employee class
mapping.setReferenceClass(Address.class);
descriptor.addMapping(mapping);
I get the following error when I try to login to the session
Exception [TOPLINK-197] (Oracle TopLink - 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.0.0) (Build 060118)): oracle.toplink.exceptions.DescriptorException
Exception Description: The mapping [addr] is not the appropriate type for this descriptor
Please let me know where I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance

The source descriptor also needs to be of type ObjectRelationalDescriptor. If you are using the MW to map the source you can edit the XML or source and change the descriptor type. Or you could create a new ObjectRelationalDescriptor and copy the mappings and properties over from the RelationalDescriptor and replace it in the Session. Or just map the source in code as well.

Can a DTD map custom styles to standard HTML tags?

Hi,
Every week the publishing house I work for has to manually copy the entire content of a weekly magazine on an article-by-article basis into an online database, the web version of the magazine. This means copying the styled InDesign content and inserting it into the database as plain text, re-finding all those italics (and any other styling) and putting it all back manually.
I already know that I can create tags with all the basic HTML styles needed in the 'Tags' palette in InDesign, and then export that.
The trouble is that when I re-import the XML file, I have to laboriously map the custom house-styles (there are many of them and they're boiler-plate, i.e. consistent, across all the magazine's InDesign styles) to the imported HTML styles.
So here's my question:
Am I wrong to believe that it's possible to create a DTD that would import not only the HTML tags but their relationship to the existing, custom-named InDesign tags that are common to all the magazine's documents?
As an InDesign wish-feature, what's missing from the 'Tags' corner-menu is 'Export DTD' - if that was available, I could map the whole relationship between Indesign Styles/HTML styles just one time and later import the DTD on other articles; which would tell the Structure View how to convert our custom house-styles (both Paragraph Styles and Character Styles) into HTML tags and cut this time-consuming task in half.
Thanks!
EDIT: I perhaps should have mentioned that obviously the final stage after this 'dream conversion' is to export the XML from the Structure View. Then I can just open the saved XML file and paste it into the CMS with formatting intact.
Added extra explanation of the workflow.

Googling XSLT and InDesign, it seems that such a stylesheet, if I were to create it, possibly couldn't handle spaces in the original InDesign style-names..? If anyone knows that for a fact, I'd be glad to be aware of it before starting down a long path to a roadblock.
That's a good question. Let's find out together, shall we. I just created a text frame with Lorem Ipsum text, and created "a style" (with space) and "bstyle" (without). Now ... Map Style to Tag doesn't work, presumably because the tags don't exist and I assumed this would *create* them. And if you create one, ID complains "tags cannot contain tabs or spaces". (So can you have a Tab in your paragraph style name then? Gosh.)
... Forcing in a Non-breaking Space (#160) also doesn't work, this time ID simply says "A tag name cannot contain the character ' '."
I think that's one you have to do manually.

I'm guessing that if I wanted to change the InDesign style 'Subheader' into 'h2', that snippet of the XSLT would be like this...?
<xsl:template match="Subheader"><h2><xsl:apply-templates /></h2></xsl:template>
Yeah, that's the correct syntax. But you cannot use an XSLT for mapping InDesign styles to tags. The process as I described works when importing your XML into InDesign, and changes the tags in the XML file to match InDesign styles. That's the other way around.
I don't expect anyone to write this for me, but any hints or links to tutes that I haven't yet found would be appreciated!
For a simple one-to-one translation of tag names, you can use this all the way. You only need any other XSL command if you want to do more than simple translation, such as filtering, moving, combining, or separating tags or their contents.
There are lots of good tutes on the 'web for XSLT, although it seems interest has diminished lately. Half a decade ago XSLT was "hot"; nowadays the iPad is. Is there any news on improvements for ID's native XSLT support in CS6? I dare bet there are none at all -- it's already been deemed "yesterday's technology" by Adobe's Dev Team, just as Flash was discarded per CS5.5. I'm sure next year DPS will follow; and the year after that EPubs will be gone for good as well, replaced by holograms, transmitted live from your local library.

XI 3.0: Using global variables in mapping

Hi everybody
Since it seems that during mapping you have only access to messages fields, does anybody has got idea or a workaround to use global/external variables or constants during mapping??
Example: i would like to store the mail address where i send my error mails outside each mapping program (something like using a properties file or something like that).
Any idea???

Hi,
U can refer to the following links in help.sap.com

How to use error table in mapping level?

Hi all
Any one please tell me how to use error table in mapping level or how to handle the errors in mapping.
I am creating one error table in oracle but i dont know how to use it in mapping.
Thanks in advance.
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
You need to use Error Table along with the Data Rule .
Error tables are used with Logical error handlers (Data Rules). Detailed description on using data rules is explained in the following document
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/OWB10gR2_ETLandBusinessRules.pdf
In a nut shell usage of error tables is as follows.
1. Create a data rule associate it with a table (Target table or table in which you load data).
2. Use the table in a mapping as target table.
3. Deploy the table and mapping.
Now in the target schema one more table will be created with the name <target table name>_ERR. When a mapping is executed the data which violates the data rule gets into this error table.
The following has to be done to have error table name of customers choice.
1. Right click on the table and click configure.
2. Give the table name in "shadow table name" section.
3. Deploy the table.
4. Use this table in a mapping. Now in the mapping on this table properties in "Error Table Name" section the name of the table specified in "shadow table name" will be populated.
Thanks,

Using fonts when launching from JNLP

Hello,
I followed the directions in this link http://fxexperience.com/2010/05/how-to-embed-fonts/ and was able to add and use fonts in my javafx program when launched from Netbeans. But when I try to launch from JNLP, the fonts do not show up (the text shows up as Arial).
Is there something special I need to do to access the fonts in the jar and utilize them?
As the link directed I created a fonts folder in my src folder where I store all the .ttf file, and created a fonts.mf file in META-INF where I map a name to the font file. Works fine when launching from netbeans.
thanks in advance for your help
jose

I've found the problem! It's the timestamp for the JNLP file. But unfortunately I can't figure out the workaround as yet.
To explain the problem it would be best to start with my application's installation procedure:
The applcation is installed by way of CD (using javaws -import) as downloading an 8mb jar file over dialup is unwieldy. Subsequent updates are retrieved from the server. Jardiffs are sent back to the webstart client so updates over dialup becomes manageble.
The application jar file in the CD is version 1.0. Let's say the server is now at version 1.3 with the timestamp 2005-10-01 00:00:00.
The user installs the application using the CD today which gives his JNLP file the timestamp of 2005-10-03 00:00:00.
When the application is started, it calls the server to check for updates. Although the JNLP file returned from the server specifically states that the current version is at version 1.3 Java Web Start insists on using the timestamp to perform the comparison first.
Since the timestamp of the JNLP file in the user's pc is dated later than the JNLP file in the server, Java Web Start ignores the version checking and assumes that the application in the server is the latest and greatest.
Has anyone encountered a similiar situation? The only solution I can think of is to hack the JNLPDownloadServlet to return a date that's way in the future so that Java Web Start picks up the changes... sigh.
Is it possible to disable the timestamp checking for the JNLP files? As again, help is mucho appreciated and there are 10 duke dollars at stake too :)

Check if in Word document (Word 2013) advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the printer" is set

Is it possible in a VBA macro to check whether an opened word document has the advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the Printer" is set.
I have a word macro that opens and processes thousands of word documents. The processing needs to be different based on whether this option is set or not.
Thanks,

Hi Harry,
I'm afraid that we're not able to retrieve this option value. The Advanced Options are actually stored as application level. Some of the options can be accessed with the Word.Application.Options property. But there're also many options that are not
exposed in the Word Object Model. As you can see in this figure, there's no property corresponding to "Use fonts that are stored on the printer":

Weblogic Admin and Managed Server start using boot.properties and LDAP Acc.

Hello - Can any one please tell me if Weblogic 10.3.x can be started using boot.properties file and by using a user account from the External LDAP (OID) server?
I have configured the Weblogic server and have added a LDAP authenticator.
The Group in OID is mapped to the Admin role in Weblogic so that the user can start and stop the server.
LDAP users can successfully authenticate and access WLS console.
We would like to remove Default Authenticator (Embeded LDAP) from the list of available providers for our security releam.

[svn] 762: -update the 3.0 branch to use build. properties to create the flex-sdk-description.xml

By the way, simply adding the quotes around the lexical names in the sql statement doesn't work. That causes the lexical references to be ignored as simple string values:
SELECT

,'&FLEX_GL_ACCOUNT_LPROMPT'   alias_gl_account_lprompt
,'&ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT'          alias_acct_bal_lprompt
FROM dualI turned on statement-level debugging via xdodebug.cfg and saw how it compiled the lexicals. By replicating the call to apps.fnd_flex_xml_publisher_apis.kff_segments_metadata that I found there, I was able to hack together a workaround for this issue.
Please point me to a better way of doing this if possible, as I had to GRANT EXECUTE on this apps package to my custom code schema. Is there a better lexical/flexfields reference than the XML Publisher documentation?
Here is the call I made in my before-report trigger:
--set ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT flexfield segment metadata lexical
begin
apps.fnd_flex_xml_publisher_apis.kff_segments_metadata(

Filer using user properties in DIAdem

I added to my channels some user properties which values clarify the context of different channels, saving all channels in different TDM files. Working woth data loaded in the Data Portal or selecting dat for loading I would like to view / compare /process data with specific values of user properties. How can I filter my channels using User Properties content ?
Thanks
Luca
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Luca,
This should be pretty easy.
In the NAVIGATOR, selected the"Advanced Search" button (little blue icon on the top right side of the NAVIGATOR Window).
Build the query based on your customer property (in your case a Channel property) in the query builder. If you have numeric properties, you can use ">" "<" ">=" "<=" and "=" for your queries. Queries can be connected with AND or OR, it should be pretty straight forward from there.
Let us know if you have any additional questions. If you do, it always helps to share your version of DIAdem and a few data files if you can.

Customer masters house bank non-modifiable mode.

Dear All,
Can any one tell me how i can make the house bank field in Customer master as display mode to prevent the user from changing the house bank.
Regards,
Suresh Patipati.

Hi Suresh,
Use transaction code OBD2. Select the account group type and then click on the magnifying glass (Details). Next, double-click on Company code data --> Payment Transactions. Change House Bank to display and save.
To make the Bank Details fields as display only as well, then double click on General Data --> Payment Transactions and change the bank details to display and save.

Addin extra properties to MAPI messages

Hi!
On msdn website http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/cc765570.aspx following is written:
"MAPI Property Overview:...Clients can define properties to describe new message classes, and service providers can define properties to expose the unique features of their messaging system."
I ve been trying to add custom properties to MAPI messages, send and receive them. the problem is by receiving i get the error code 0x40380.
Inside my GetProperties() method the pProp parameter should have in its Value.l field 5, but it has l = 0x8004010f???
While sending the HRESULT is ok. Is it really possible to define custom properties and to receive them?
Ive defined my own PropertyTag as the following:
#define PROP_TAGEVO(ulPropType,ulPropID)    ((((ULONG)(ulPropID))<<16)|((ULONG)(ulPropType)))
#define PR_MESSAGE_FLAGSEVO                    PROP_TAGEVO( PT_LONG,        0x0081)
        void SetProperties()
            const int nProperties=1;
            SPropValue props[nProperties] = {0};
            /*props[0].ulPropTag=PR_ORIGINATOR_DELIVERY_REPORT_REQUESTED;
            props[0].Value.b = (unsigned short)true;*/
            props[0].ulPropTag=PR_MESSAGE_FLAGSEVO;
            props[0].Value.l = (LONG)5;
            HRESULT hr = m_pMapiMessage->SetProperties(nProperties, props);
in MapiMessage.cpp SetSproperties Method:
HRESULT CMapiMessage::SetProperties(ULONG valueCount, SPropValue* lpProp)
    if (!m_lpMessage)
        return E_FAIL;
    return m_lpMessage->SetProps(valueCount, lpProp, NULL);
...SetProps() is the MAPI method.
My GetPToperty method:
void GetProperties()
            LPSPropValue pProp;
            HRESULT hr = m_pMapiMessage->GetProperty(PR_MESSAGE_FLAGSEVO, pProp);
            BOOL bRead = ((pProp->Value.l & MSGFLAG_READ) == MSGFLAG_READ);

Hello Evren,
As far as I know you can define transmittable user properties in range 0x8000 to 0xFFFF (user-defined Name-to-id mapped property). The
Property Identifier Ranges page in MSDN provides the following information:
8000 - FFFE
Properties defined by clients and occasionally service providers that are identified by name through the IMAPIProp::GetNamesFromIDs andIMAPIProp::GetIDsFromNames methods.
Be aware, the property should be defined on the target Inbox folder.

Using fonts from illustrator in a logo

Are you free to use fonts from illustrator/photoshop in business logo's?

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...
This (that “you can copy and send the fonts for a reproduction house for the sole purpose of reproducing that particular piece or job”) is absolutely not true! In fact it is not true for any of Adobe's fonts!
What is true is that your ability to send, share, or even embed fonts is dependent upon the EULA (End User License Agreement) for each and every font you use in your content. And, by the way, any restrictions in the EULA legally override any embedding permissions that might be set in the font itself for TrueType and OpenType fonts!
Other than for fonts that are explicitly labeled as public domain or freeware, it is exceptionally uncommon for any font foundry – and that includes Adobe and Monotype (Monotype now includes Linotype, ITC, and Bitstream) – to permit licensees to simply package and send fonts along with the base document (Illustrator .AI, InDesign .INDD, etc.) and other digital assets to a print service provider with one exception. That exception – and that exception is not universal but does apply to fonts licensed from Adobe – is that such fonts may be sent to a print service provider as long as the print service provider is also licensed for those fonts. Well, what good is that you may ask? The reason for this is that there are subtle differences between versions of fonts released over time including improvements and corrections. Adobe does allow users to make local modifications of fonts as well while maintaining actually ownership of the fonts. To deal with both these cases, Adobe does allow fonts to be sent with original source files to print service providers if and only if the print service provider also has a license for such fonts. The need for such a license is exactly why Adobe markets its Font Folio product to print service providers; it fulfills the licensing requirement for their customers sending original documents with fonts to them either for reproduction and/or editing.
One of the reasons why Adobe has been so much behind PDF workflows is that for many fonts (including all those licensed from Adobe), you may embed the fonts in the PDF files you create from you content, send the resultant PDF file to your print service provider for reproduction or to a publication for embedding in their content (such as for advertisements) and neither you nor the recipient needs to pay any further licensing fee.
However, you should note one further restriction. Some font foundries (including all the font brands of Monotype) allow for fonts to be embedded in PDF files, but except for private distribution of such PDF files (including to print service providers and publishers), requirement additional royalty payments for distribution of PDF files in which their fonts are embedded! Note that Adobe has no such restrictions on any fonts the fonts it licenses!
I know that the above information may conflict with both what many in the industry practice and believe is true, but those licenses are indeed legally enforceable. We are in fact aware of font foundries that run webbots looking for PDF files with their fonts embedded for which royalties have not been paid. The fact that many content providers and print service providers have blatantly ignored the font licenses in the past does not provide a tenable legal excuse for ignoring font licenses now.
- Dov
PS: To address the original question in this thread, you may use the fonts provided with any Adobe software in your content such as logos (even if they are created with non-Adobe software while you are licensed for the Adobe software) and you may distribute such artwork to others with the fonts as long as that is distributed in the form of either PDF files or EPS files with the fonts embedded. (Adobe most strongly recommends PDF over EPS for modern, reliable workflows!)
