Koen, I can read binary. ;-) No seriously, I've done a lot of hacking
around fonts so you learn a few things. Then there's the double-click on
a TTF file on Windows, or simply a good Hex-Editor to look at this stuff.
There are lots of font-related tools on the net, too. Finally, there's
increasing the log level for "org.apache.fop.fonts" or simply firing up
a Java debugger. Glad I could help.
