This is simply not implemented, yet. Somebody has to do that. But better do this in FOP Trunk, not based on the old code. There are things happening in the font department to remove the necessity for font metric files. This should be coordinated. > Another driving factor for doing this is to create a PDF that is editable by > my Chinese users. Presently they cannot edit the PDF using Adobe Pro > (Chinese version.)

It may have something to do with a bug in the PDF library in 0.20.5 which is fixed in FOP Trunk. In the end, you're pretty much out of luck for the moment with FOP 0.20.5. But have a close eye on what's happening on the redesigned FOP. And if the above is an important feature for you, help us implement it. > Adobe Asian Font Pack > http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontsysreqs.html#simplified > > I appreciate your time and help. > Thank you very much. > > Greg Stark <gstark at electrorent dot com> Jeremias Maerki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
