Hi all,

I defined a sld for labeling that should use the fonttype 'Arial':

-->>
   <TextSymbolizer>
     <Label>
       <ogc:PropertyName>Linie</ogc:PropertyName>
     </Label>

     <Font>
       <CssParameter name="font-family">Arial</CssParameter>
       <CssParameter name="font-style">Normal</CssParameter>
       <CssParameter name="font-size">16</CssParameter>
       <CssParameter name="font-weight">bold</CssParameter>
     </Font>

    <LabelPlacement>
      <LinePlacement>
        <PerpendicularOffset>5</PerpendicularOffset>
      </LinePlacement>
    </LabelPlacement>
<<--

I played with the CssParameters and looked the results at OpenLayers.
There I experienced, that there's no reaction on changing the font-size/font-family ?

I looked into the geoserver_log and found following message :
-->>
INFO: Bad file name in SLDStyleFactoryArial
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Arial (No such file or directory)
<<--

How can I teach GeoServer, where to find the font on my system ?

(GeoServer-1.5.3)

regards
Ronald

Hi Ronald,

There are a couple of ways to add Fonts in java. The first is to copy
the .ttf for the font into the jre/lib/fonts direcftory of your jdk.

An alternative is to create an entry in jre/lib/font.properties if the
font is installed in the well-known font directory for your platform.

Which jdk and operating system are you running?
