Hi, I am generally interested in producing AFP with FOP and actually I am in the process of doing so for a big project with complex layouts that already uses FOP to produce PDF files. Unfortunately, there are several problems that came up and I am investigating (but don't want to mention in this thread).
While I am in that process, I am using AFP outline & raster fonts as it is generally required by printing houses to embed in an AFP all the referenced resources. The FOP project supports embedding AFP fonts, but has none in it's distribution. I think it would be very helpful to have some fonts for development, for automated testing and for the users. With the help of a colleague that owns a license for a commercial tool, we could convert truetype or opentype fonts to AFP raster and outline fonts. Since I am not an expert in legal issues, has anybody checked the licensing schemes ? For example, if we convert this font [1] to an AFP font, could it be distributed with FOP ? Any pointers to other free fonts ?
