I'm trying to setup chinese simhei ttf font on our FOP server - version .95.

I have the font installed in windows fonts folder, and I have font
autodetect enabled in the fop.xconf folder. 

I can see fop can detect arial ttf font in the same folder, but it doesn't
detect the simhei font. The only way I have been able to get this working is
to generate a metric file for the simhei font and add this to the fop config
file.

I have read extensively the fop docs, faq, and forums on this issue, and
there seems to be a lot of conflicting information, hence my post. What I'd
simply like to know is:

Will FOP 0.95 auto detect a chinese TTF font when it's installed in windows
(and linux)? If so, any ideas why this fails on my setup when other fonts
are auto-detected?

Does FOP 0.95 require a metrics file for a chinese TTF file? If not (as the
docs suggest), can anyone provide some sample config file entries, for a
simhei.ttf file installed in the windows fonts folder, that works? I have
been unable to get this to work any other way.

Thanks
Andy
