Most probably, the problem you experience is simply to do the missing spaces in the font-triplet. You specified "Frutiger45Light" in the configuration, but "Frutiger 45 Light" in the FO.

You can associate multiple triplets with one font. So if you use "Frutiger45Light" in the triplet, you have to use "Frutiger45Light" in the FO, not "Frutiger 45 Light". You could, for example, do this: <font metrics-file="font.xml" embed-file="D:\fop094\font.ttf"> <font-triplet name="Frutiger45Light" weight="normal" style="normal"/> <font-triplet name="Frutiger 45 Light" weight="normal" style="normal"/> </font> > 2. How do I get the correct font name? Is it the one given in the font > metrics file? Or is it the one given during font metrics file > compilation (in my cases, the second one has spaces). The name in the metrics file is irrelevant and not used at all. Again, it's the triplet that plays the tune here. > Thanks for any answers and best regards, > Diana HTH Jeremias Maerki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
