I would like to generate metrics filebut I get the following error:Unsupported TrueType font: Unicode cmap table not present. Aborting

what is the problem?

FOP works with Unicode data and therefore requires True Type Fonts to have a table that maps Unicode code points to the glyphs in the Font. The barcode font you have provided does not have such a Unicode mapping table, often referred to as a CMAP table.

When I have run into this problem in the past I used a Font Editor to add the Unicode mapping table for each glyph that I required access to. No doubt your barcode font came with some help that indicates what characters should be used to draw which bars. You have to use this information when you create the Unicode mapping table in your font.

Symbol.TTF is an example of another Font that doesn't have the Unicode mapping table.

Thanks,

Chris
