--- Comment #5 from Chris Bowditch <[email protected]> --- I am aware of those notes. I agree this page needs updating but we are about to switch to a new website, so I will probably update the page in the new website or wait until we switch before addressing this. Basically the special use cases are diminished in the latest versions of FOP. I believe the use case the author had in mind was related to single byte encoding but that too is now possible without creating the metrics files. The only other possible use case for metric files is as a means to modify the metrics extracted in case the original font contains errors, but that use case is very unlikely. I will bear that in mind when I come to rewrite the help topic. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
