The news about the mac is reassuring, thanks.
So far I've swapped out the alias for Numbus Sans L for FreeSans in
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/30-metric-aliases.conf: fonts-config; fc-cache;
placed the following in my fop config xml
<font kerning="yes" embed-url="FreeSans.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Helvetica" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
</font>
<font kerning="yes" embed-url="FreeSansBold.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Helvetica" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
</font>
but this has been a dead end.
I think I've mentioned that replacing
<svg:text font-family="Helvetica" font-style="normal"
font-weight="normal"
font-size="10pt" text-anchor="end" x="-35"
y="25">
with
<svg:text
font-family="-monotype-arial-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-microsoft-cp1252"
font-size="10pt" text-anchor="end" x="-35" y="25">
gets me good output so I'll go with that even though it generates a huge
stacktrace with each call to print.
Thanks to all,
rjs
