Hi all.
Thank You for all help so far, with my PFM font embedding problem.
I am very thankful.
My implementation in the userconfig.xml file looks like this (as childs of the
<fonts> node):
These are two declarations, one for the normal weighted font, and one with bold:
<font
metrics-file="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DVDebugger\bin\Debug\FontMetrics\SK021___.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-file="C:\program files\adobe\adobe type
manager\psfonts\PFM\SK021___.PFM">
<font-triplet name="StandardGroteskBSK" style="normal" weight="normal"
/>
</font>
<font
metrics-file="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DVDebugger\bin\Debug\FontMetrics\SK051___.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-file="C:\program files\adobe\adobe type
manager\psfonts\PFM\SK051___.PFM">
<font-triplet name="StandardGroteskBSK" style="normal" weight="bold" />
</font>
The xml font metrics files are generated without errors.
Using the "-d" debug mode flag, this is the output the FOP renderer creates
when generating my PDF:

The error i get when opening the generated PDF from Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0:
"Unable to extract the embedded font StandardGroteskBSK-Bold. Some characters
may not display or print correctly."
The names displayed in the XML metrics files are:
<font-name>StandardGroteskBSK-Regular</font-name>
and
<font-name>StandardGroteskBSK-Bold</font-name>
I have also tried to use these names without success.
But when using SVG, i succeed to use this font, using the name:
StandardGroteskBSK-Regular
for example: <text x="100" y="100"
style="font-family:StandardGroteskBSK-Regular;">This is
StandardGroteskBSK-Regular</text>
or "StandardGroteskBSK-Bold" to get the bold one.
Which is the actual name here? I am a little bit confused about that.
Sure its me doing something wrong here.
If anyone has a clue, that's great, but I understand the complexity of my
problems here. It is not very easy for you to recreate my problem and debug it.
