Hi Jochen, The metrics files are loaded using URI syntax, so either you specify a relative path like <font metrics-file="codegen/arial.xml" ...> or a fully qualified path like <font metrics-file="file:///d:/fop/codegen/arial.xml" ...>
It's a bit confusing because you can specify "d:/fop/codegen/Arial.ttf" for the font but you are obliged to put the "file:///" in front of the metrics file path. Hope it helps. regards, thierry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Ok here is the deal.
