--- Comment #3 from Chris Bowditch <bowditch_ch...@hotmail.com> --- Hi Edward, Thanks for your response. You don't need to create metric files to register the fonts manually in the fop.xconf file. The fonts topic definitely needs work as it does appear to imply the metrics generation step is necessary, but if you read [1] You will see the following note stating metrics files are not needed: •The "metrics-url" attribute is generally not necessary except if you run into problems with certain fonts. Thanks, Chris [1] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/fonts.html#register -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
