I won't be able to get that listing for a few hours. Could it be something about the
LENGTH of the path to the afm file? The server that breaks it gives a pretty long URL
(http://carbon.xpogen.com/xad/tool/RNViewer/RNViewer.jar is something like the actaul
URL the server generates to send the jar file) . The servers it works on are fairly
short (http://192.168.1.100/~cpearls/Sites/RNViewer.jar) Does that explain the
difference between 0.94 and 0.92 ?

The thrown error line is:
throw new DocumentException("Missing StartCharMetrics in " + fileName);
This can happen if the afm file is truncated. Can you send me the
listing
with the directories, names and sizes of what you have in your jar?
