Dennis,
an addition to Oleg's answer: I've posted a checklist a while ago that
describes how to tweak the values in the XML font metric file generated
by the PFM Reader. Yes, sometimes it's necessary to alter the generated
file. That will change when we have an AFM and an improved PFB parser.
Step-by-step instructions described at
http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html, but looks like you know it
already. Show us the font definition in your userconfig.xml and check if
FOP complains about anything in a debug trace.

Hi all.
Does Acrobat open the PDF without problems if you don't embed the font

*Smack* Of course! Thanks for spotting it.
Still doesn't explain why it still doesn't work when he removes the
embed-file attribute. Dennis, would you try to use an URL instead of a
filename for the metrics-file attribute? I always use URLs and I've
never had problems, yet.
