It appears Adobe is installing an OpenType font as part of the font pack. I just downloaded the Linux version and looked into the archive. It contains a font file called AdobeSongStd-Light.otf. Unfortunately FOP doesn't support OpenType fonts yet. Using ttfreader I get: TTF Reader for Apache FOP svn-trunk Parsing font... Reading Adobe/Reader8/Resource/CIDFont/AdobeSongStd-Light.otf... Font Family: [Adobe Song Std L, Adobe å®ä½ Std, Adobe å®ä½ Std L, Adobe Song Std] Error while building XML font metrics file. java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: OpenType fonts with CFF data are not supported, yet May be one of the font experts on the FOP team has some suggestions how to get FOP to generate a PDF with the correct metrics referencing the Adobe font e.g. 'Adobe Song Std'? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
