RE: [xep-support] Font names with parentheses in them

Justin, Have you tried enclosing the name in single quotes? ~Dee
<font-family name=" ' OCR-B (CBA) ' ">

Subject: [xep-support] Font names with parentheses in them

Hi,

Of late our good friends at Microsoft have taken to putting parentheses
in font names - "Arial (W1)" is an example that keeps coming up.
Unfortunately these seems to break XEP 4.9

Here's the font definition fragment from my xep.xml

<font-group xml:base="file:/tmp/" <file:/tmp/> label="Windows TrueType"
embed="true" subset="true">
        <font-family name="OCR-B (CBA)">
            <font><font-data ttf="TT0646Z_.ttf"/></font>
        </font-family>
</font-group>

My relevant xsl:fo fragment looks like this:

<fo:block id="Paragraph_2" background-color="transparent"
space-before="0pt" space-after="1.0E-4pt" line-height="120%"
 color="black" margin-right="0pt" margin-left="0pt" font-size="12pt"
font-family="OCR-B (CBA), Symbol, serif" font-weight="normal"
text-align="left" text-indent="0pt" white-space-collapse="false">
BTW OCR-B (CBA) rocks </fo:block>

XEP Warnings are:

XEP Warning: Unexpected token in font-family: FUNCTOR
XEP Warning: Unexpected token in font-family: RIGHT PARENTHESIS

and I get no PDF output.

I've also tried escaping the parentheses:

<fo:block id="Paragraph_2" background-color="transparent"
space-before="0pt" space-after="1.0E-4pt" line-height="120%"
color="black" margin-right="0pt" margin-left="0pt" font-size="12pt"
font-family="OCR-B \(CBA\), Symbol, serif" font-weight="normal"
text-align="left" text-indent="0pt" white-space-collapse="false">BTW
OCR-B (CBA) rocks </fo:block>

to no avail.

Renaming the font to remove the parentheses resolves the issue.
Is this a bug? - Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Justin.
