Hi,

I switched fop back to fontbox 1.8, so its only the pdfplugin that uses 2.0 and 
the user would delete 1.8 jar if copying pdfplugin to fop.

Thanks

Clay, your offer to help would be greatly appreciated!

And since you’re mentioning it, maybe it’s time to think about making a new 
release of FOP. Although now that the font merging code has been merged to 
trunk, and introduces a dependency on FontBox 2.0.0, we would have to wait that 
FontBox 2.0.0 is released first. Or adapt the code to keep the former 1.8.5 
dependency (or the newer 1.8.6 released version).

In the meantime, can anybody think of features that should definitely be 
implemented before the release, or bugs fixed? Remember that due to API 
changes, that release will have to be called 2.0.

Thanks,
Vincent
