Stupid me, I was not making a reference to the conf file,
thank you all very much for your help, this is great
I am now using DejaVu, and it does exactly what I need

mmh, still not there yet
This is what I did in the configuration file
<font kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///f:/***/fonts/DejaVuSerif.ttf">
<font-triplet
name="DejaVuSerif" style="normal" weight="400" />
</font>
<font kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///f:/***/fonts/DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf">
<font-triplet
name="DejaVuSerif" style="normal" weight="700" />
</font>
And I get this error,
8-mei-2009 14:22:23 org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement
WARNING: Font 'DejaVuSerif,normal,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,
400'.

so or I make an error, or it is not using the configuration

Hi,
Sorry for being so ignorant....
Don't apologize for being a newbie. You've asked on the right list,
so we are happy to answer your questions.
I came across dejavu in the archive of this forum
I have downloaded that yesterday
what do I need to exactly do to make it work with fop
- extract all the ttf from the zip
- make some sort of reference to the ttf files in the conf?
Yes add a font element into fop.xconf below the PDF Renderer, an
example for Lucide Console:
<font kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///c:/windows/fonts/lucon.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Lucida Console" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
- and set the default font family to "dejavu" in the root element of my fo
The 3 steps you've outlined above are a good summary of the steps
involved. So give it a go and let us know if you have any problems.
Thanks,
Chris
thanks again

Linux-based distributions provide a lot of fonts with varying coverage
of the Unicode standard. I can think of two of them, DejaVu and
FreeFont, but there are probably others.
http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/
There are also the STIX fonts:
http://www.aip.org/stixfonts/
All those fonts should have a more permissive license than Arial Unicode
MS, and provide a good coverage of all European languages.
