Hi Clay,
I think the plan is to release FOP v2.0 very shortly together with Java
6. This is so we can include the font merging feature. So the last Java
5 compatible version will be v1.1.
Thanks,
Chris

Will there be 'one last release using Java 5’ enabling the most widespread use
of the latest FOP development or does this mean that the last version of Java 5
support will be FOP 1.1?
Either way, I think this is a great improvement!
Great work, Simon!
+1 from me.

Hi Simon,
This branch represents many months of hard work. Merging fonts within separate
PDFs is far from a trivial task, and has been requested by almost everyone who
uses the PDF Plug-in. Thanks you and well done on bringing the implementation
to this point.
I downloaded the branch and ran a couple of basic tests, seems ok from a high
level. Therefore I am +1 to merge this branch into trunk
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
I have been working on merging fonts inside pdf external graphic using the
pdf-plugin. The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled using
fop.xconf:
<fop version="1.0">
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<merge-fonts>true</merge-fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>
It is using pdfbox 2.0 snapshot which requires Java 6 or later so you vote
needs to agree to end support for Java 5 on trunk.
It is supporting fonts of type CFF, Truetype, CID and Type1.
The vote will last 5 working days, ending next Friday.
