I already told you what the problem is: FOP has a problem with TrueType fonts that don't contain cmap tables. Someone has to take a look and try to fix it if this is to be solved. > Also another thing I should tell you, I could not see TIMES and COUR > fonts in the PDF so I had create a metrics file for each and enable them > in the userconfig file.

Yes, the "base 14" fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier, ZapfDingbats and Symbol) are "built-in". Your probably didn't see Times because it might be replaced internally by your PDF viewer by another, similar font with a different name. As long as the text is displayed correctly, you're ok. No need to explicitely (re)define the base 14 fonts. > I have tried using K3 barcode font from 0.91 beta but in vain. Why?

It generates the barcodes as graphics. <snip/> Jeremias Maerki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
