I'm using the DocBook 1.72 XSL stylesheets with FOP 0.93. I followed the
Apache FOP instructions for regenerating font metrics files, and I
updated the FOP configuration file to the new format. When I run FOP, I
get the following exception.
SEVERE: Exception
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot load font: failed to create Source
from metrics file SY______.xml
It didn't seem to be loading any of the fonts. The <font-base> in the
configuration file was correct, so I don't know why it couldn't load the
files. I decided to update the configuration file to use relative URLs
based on the <base>. When I ran FOP again, I got a NullPointerException:
==================================Processing FO file to generate PDF
file.
