Now that I look at this a second time I realize that you mean that you've solved the problem. D'Oh. > I was able to generate PDF's from my > application using the PDF transcoder.

If there are any problems just recreate the font metrics using the PFMReader and TTFReader from FOP's CVS HEAD. But there shouldn't really be any differences. > 2.

The font in the metrics file > is called 'TradeGothic CondEighteen' (which is what it should be). I've seen that there are sometimes multiple names for a single font which can lead to a certain amount of confusion. > Now, if I were to use the PDFTranscoder to convert the SVG to PDF, do > I need to replace all the 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen' with 'TradeGothic > CondEighteen'? I've seen behaviour like this before but until today haven't investigated, yet. Simply use the same names in your font configuration XML so the font gets detected. You can define aliases (i.e. font-triplets) there. > Also, while converting from SVG to PDF, are the font > definitions <defs><font ...>......</font></defs> taken into consideration?

Do > I need to the same/similar thing here?) FOP's :-) PDFTranscoder cannot use these embedded SVG fonts. They are handled by Batik. There's a todo item where these embedded fonts should be converted to Type3 fonts but that's not implemented, yet. I suggest you do the same stripping you've done for FOP. > I am attaching a typical SVG file that is generated by PopChart.
