Re: Greek text in the HelloWorld example causes Severe Exception

[Spyros Papantoniou]

Better use something like:

<fop version="1.0">
  <renderers>
    <renderer mime="application/pdf">
      <fonts>
        <font   
embed-url="file:///Users/sjp/Triboni8090/ginkgo/fopFonts/FreeSans.ttf">
          <font-triplet name="FreeSans" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
        </font>
       
      </fonts>
    <renderer>
   </renderers>
</fop>

I think you missed the actual filename in the declaration.
Greek works after 0.94 version though.
No Greek with 0.20!
