It could be that Inkscape or Gimp (or OOO, or, or , or ...) all do things slightly differently - some may be fetching the metric files, some not. What a mess. I think for overall correctness, that I will follow something like your advice: > Umm, Werner may recommend you to use PFM fallback - if AFM > is found, use it, if AFM is not found but PFM is found, use it. > So 2 & 4 are OK, but 1/3/5 would be slightly different. That, at least, is complete.
