Andreas,

I took your advice and have gotten some error output.  It doesn't print this
every time, but it has printed for every font I have installed something to
the effect of "Failed to load font file ___ .  Could not load InputStream".
If it could find the files itself, then I know that it wasn't me putting in
a bad URL, but why would it be that it can't load any of them?  I'm trying
to use a .ttf font.

I also tried loading the font manually by creating a FontTriplet and
EmbedFontInfo and adding it to the FopFactory FontCache, which gave no error
except for the usual "Substituting with 'any'".  Any ideas?

Sam
