Hi,

This is from the latest FOP documentation...


   Base-14 Fonts

The Adobe PostScript and PDF Specification specify a set of 14 fonts that must be available to every PostScript interpreter and PDF reader: Helvetica (normal, bold, italic, bold italic), Times (normal, bold, italic, bold italic), Courier (normal, bold, italic, bold italic), Symbol and ZapfDingbats.

The following font family names are hard-coded into FOP for the Base-14 font set:

Base-14 font    font families
Helvetica       Helvetica, sans-serif, SansSerif
Times   Times, Times Roman, Times-Roman, serif, any
Courier         Courier, monospace, Monospaced
Symbol  Symbol
ZapfDingbats    ZapfDingbats

Please note that recent versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader replace "Helvetica" with "Arial" and "Times" with "Times New Roman" internally. GhostScript replaces "Helvetica" with "Nimbus Sans L" and "Times" with "Nimbus Roman No9 L". Other document viewers may do similar font substitutions. If you need to make sure that there are no such substitutions, you need to specify an explicit font and embed it in the target document.

Does anyone know of a free source where I might find the base 14 fonts?
