You are right. The timestamp was different for the AFM files (2007 as opposed to 1990), so I looked inside one and saw: Comment AFM Generated by Ghostscript/pf2afm > Looking > at these fonts, BTW, gives me a strong impression that these are illegal > and altered copies (Some of the fonts give a BBS phone number).

All fonts that I have tried so far (TT and Type1) can now be used. By the way, the FOP-trunk online documentation says: "Font registration via XML font metrics file is still supported and is still necessary if you want to use a TrueType Collection (*.ttc). Direct support for TrueType collections may be added later." This should be updated, as I can use such fonts. Cambria is an MS font that comes with Office 2007, but, for whatever reason, it is included in the latest PowerPoint viewer, the installer of which runs on Linux. Cambria.ttf contains "Cambria" and "Cambria Math" (which I know only because FOP told me) and I can select either one.
