Please help me: How can I create metrics file or CMAP table for TTF font
Editing fonts is a little off topic for this list. If you don't know how
to do it then it might be worth contacting the Font provider and asking
them to change the font for you - which they may do for a fee.
If anyone else is going to be able to help you with this then they would
need to see the documentation for the font along with a sample XSL-FO
input to create the barcode.
I suggest trying FOP trunk as Jeremias mentioned an enhancement there
which means you can use the font without changing it. You have just got
to know how to download the FOP Source and compile it. There is some
information on the website on how to download the source:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/dev/index.html#dev-code
To compile FOP you just need to install Ant and then change to the FOP
directory and run ant.

If I try to generate metrics file with FOP I get an error message:

Ascender and descender together are larger than the em box. This could lead
to a
wrong baseline placement in Apache FOP.
