Victor, I like this idea even better... I always wondered why you first had to generate the metrics file and then afterwards you still had to have a reference to the original TTF or PFM as well as to the generated XML, so perhaps *that* is indeed the step that I somehow suspected would be better to integrate into FOP itself - couldn't quite put my finger on it. The only part that would need to be documented in that case, is adding the corresponding entr(y|ies) to the config.

Well, that was certainly never on my mind... Sorry if I gave that impression. I really don't mean to put the project under pressure - we all probably have more than enough of that already in our everyday jobs, so... > I could double my productivity if I could stop cursing the decision to split > the development into two lines. > ... take it easy.
