Oleg, In short yes but... when you pull out that tag it causes the variable embedFile to become null. This is fine since FontReader.java code states that you need to supply a null if you don't want to embed the font info. Presumably since the BasrDir feature was implemented, the FontInfo.java code tries to apply a test to determine if the embedFile is absolute and if it isn't it prepends basedir, this test causes an NPE to occur which results in the message "Failed to read font metrics file : null "
As I stated in my previous email, I added code to fix the NPE and it produced the PDF without complaint. I just can't read it with Acrobat Reader. I also tried to generate a similar file using Acrobat so I could compare differences. The main difference is that the Font declaration in the PDF is missing a section named "Widths" This cause me to look at the XML Font files in the FOP source which is where I discovered that the XML Font Files I generated with TTFReader were very different.
