Discovering an error in the configuration file is not immediately bad. The severity can only be judged when the error has consequences: - Not being able to find the font file, resulting in an unusable PDF file merits an exception. - Not being able to find a graphic, resulting in it not being included in the result file, merits a severe error or an exception, depending on the user's preferences. - A nonexistent metrics file URL for a font that is not used is not a problem. - A nonexistent metrics file URL for a font that is used is currently well handled with an error message.
