Re: True Type Fonts in Fop
They were Type 1 PFM fonts. They looked fine when they were viewed with Acrobat on NeoWare Linux. But they would not print (standard Linux lpr poscript was used).

If you use a Adobe tool to embeded a font it's encoding is Built-in (or something to that effect). We found our Unix boxes needed things tweaked,similar to whats described by Chuck below, to make the FOP embeded fonts work. The Windows encoding happened even if the FOP processing was run on a non-Windows computer. I still don't get why that works like that. A clean solution to this would be something nice for the documentation library :) JohnPT I there is precise information then it should be documented. What type of font were you embedding, was it a windows font. Could it be possible that the font cannot be used on another platform. The fonts are embedded, they are not converted.
Re: True Type Fonts in Fop
I believe FOP only supports Times and Courier. I discovered last week that if you don't specify any font, you'll get Arial. You might try www.renderx.com for a parser that supports more of the standard.
