We really don't know. This is a pretty technical question about FOP (FOP configuration file, font mappings, font metrics files, etc). You should really ask FOP support and after you get an answer from them, ask us about how to adapt it to make it work in XMLmind. (I would also suggest to give RenderX XEP a try. I think, I'm not sure, they have a free academic edition.) > This is with XMLmind Professional Edition, v3.6.0, and the Apache FOP > processor plug-in v. 0.93, and the XMLmind FO Converter Personal Edition > v3.1 (hmm--why the personal edition??), Java Built-in javax.imageio > 1.5.0_02. Latest XMLmind FO Converter is v4. And the XFC v4 included in the corresponding add-on (for use by XMLmind Professional Edition) is no longer called "Personal Edition".
