Font file location

In the GPars build.gradle I have:

asciidoctor {
    sources {
      include 'index.adoc', 'quick_reference.adoc'
    }
    backends 'html5','pdf'
    attributes  toc: 'left',
             doctype: 'book',
             icons: 'font',
             sectlink: true,
             sectanchors: true,
             numbered: true,
             linkattrs: true,
             imagesdir: 'images',
             'source-highlighter': 'coderay',
             stylesheet: 'css/style.css',
             'pdf-stylesdir': 'theme',
             'pdf-fontsdir': 'fonts',
             'pdf-style': 'gpars'
}

It seems though that the pdf-fontsdir entry provides the one and only font file location rather adding to a path. Is this as it should be? Is there a way of adding a directory to a font file search path?

Russel, that's a great question. Right now it's restricted to a single path, but clearly that's very limiting. At the very least it should fall back to the directory of built-in fonts.

Even better world be to search the loadpath, which would include the classpath when running on the JVM. Then, we may not even need pdf-fontsdir.

Can you file an issue in asciidoctor-pdf to search the loadpath when looking for fonts if you agree?

Cheers,

I added https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/issues/80, hopefully it is useful.

As I want to specify all fonts for the GPars documentation and I have to provide all the font files rather than make assumptions about the build platform, this is not an issue for the GPars build: specifying the one and only fonts file directory works just fine for the GPars build.

Thanks!

Perfect. I'm glad to here you can move forward in the interim.
