Yes, I use that option on TTFReader when I am building
the XML font files. If I don't and I try to reference (i.e.
not embed) fonts Acrobat Reader will not open the file
and claim error 110. Also, if you are trying this, you need
a patched fop.jar file so that non embedded fonts can be
read by FOP.

Found it, for some reason if I am not embedding fonts I need
to encode the xml file with option "-enc ansi" once I did that it
worked fine.



Hi John,

Just to clarify for my own info. Do you mean specify -enc ansi when you run 
TTFReader?

Found it, for some reason if I am not embedding fonts I need
to encode the xml file with option "-enc ansi" once I did that it
worked fine.

For this next version of FOP, can we make the change to FontInfo.java ??

Re: Including Fonts in 20.4

Oleg,

In short yes but... when you pull out that tag it causes the variable embedFile
to become null. This is fine since  FontReader.java code states that you need
to supply a null if you don't want to embed the font info. Presumably since the
BasrDir  feature was implemented, the FontInfo.java code tries to apply a test
to determine if the embedFile is absolute and if it isn't it prepends basedir,
this
test causes an NPE to occur which results in the message "Failed to read font
metrics file : null "

As I stated in my previous email, I added code to fix the NPE and it produced
the PDF without complaint. I just can't read it with Acrobat Reader. I also tried
to generate a similar file using Acrobat so I could compare differences. The main
difference is that the Font declaration in the PDF is missing a section named
"Widths"

This cause me to look at the XML Font files in the FOP source which is where I
discovered that the XML Font Files I generated with TTFReader were very
different.

John G

Ahem, what is the difference? Have you tried this way?
"If you do not want the font embedded in the PDF then remove the "embed-file" 
attribute. The PDF will then contain text using the font with the font metrics 
and to view it properly the font will need to be installed where it is being 
viewed." (http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html)
