This sounds awesome. I run fop in client/server through webstart. Normally I want to transform on the server. It's possible it may work better to transform on the client when we're using the client, such as for the FOP PreviewPanel class. I use the classes directly with embedded code. I'm passing in custom fonts using the EmbedFontInfo object with the Renderer setFontList method using hard coded server side paths. It would save some trouble if the fonts could be found automatically in a jar on the classpath. I've heard I could set them up that way and I would have to add them to a manifest with that "application/x-font" tag which adds a little extra complication. Doing that automatically in the build would really help. Now if you can just get it to find images packaged into the jar that way..

Other than that I needed this for my current project too, so .. ;-) The atteched zip-file contains a simple Eclipse project (not java or anything) where the main parts are: - ./fonts/ : a folder where you can add the fonts you'd like to package into a jar (currently containing a free font "glastonbury") - Build.xml : ant-file that will create the manifest file listing all the fonts in the above folder with content type "application/x-font" and bundling the fonts and this manifest in a jar (build folder is ./bin/) Be warned that the ant file makes use of the ant-contrib library (adding the 'for' task among others). Make sure you provide this library to ant when trying to run the buildfile. If you feel comfortable enough with ant, you could of course run this on the command-line. ... Just noticed a little thing about the Build.xml file. As it updates the existing manifest.mf it doesn't create a new one each time you run the build. If in the meantime you removed fonts from the fonts folder they would still be mentioned. Will add a correction to this in a reply to this post. Hope this helps some people.
