FOP (at least the current version from Subversion) logs configuration info:
[INFO] FopFactory - font-base set to: file:/home/simon/programmeren/fop/ etc. When I configure a metrics file which FOP cannot locate, I get an exception: [ERROR] FOP - Exception <java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot load font: failed to create Source from metrics file arial.xml> So, when you do not get an exception, at least the metrics file was found. I hope this helps. Simon On Wed, Dec 13, 2006 at 12:54:27PM +0100, Kris Wolff wrote: > Hi folks, > > i try very hard to enable a font but without any result.
