Hi Peter, First off, what version of FOP are you using? This will have some baring on what support there will be available for you.
Have you taken a look at the FOP docs or the wiki? http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#afp-font-config http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/AFPFonts There are a few problems i can spot with your config. Most notably, the afp-raster-f...@characterset should refer to the actual character data for the custom font you want to embed and that you have made available to FOP (see base element in http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/configuration.html#general or afp-f...@base-uri) - you are instead referencing IBM base fonts that should be available in any AFP environments (Print servers or viewers) that you are using. The font-triplet element configures how you can reference the font in your .fo document. I am guessing that the AFP you generate, whilst referencing ocrb[10], actually results in the default Times Roman font. To resolve this you need to first determine what kind of font you have (outline (.OLN), raster- this usually comes with a collection of files for different sizes and styles). This may not be that obvious to you and I have had trouble myself doing the same thing. I have resorted to using and AFP binary reader to determine this - maybe some other AFP FOP users have some better instructions for you on this subject. Once you know the font refer to the the FOP docs for the relevant configuration and reply to this thread if troubles persist. I hope I have been of some help.
