RE: add new fonts

Two things:
 
1 Are you talking about "Tahoma" (a standard font included in in Windows) or
"Tohama", some other font I've never heard of? If it's "Tahoma", then you've
got a spelling mistake in your code.
 
2 I gave up trying to use Tahoma with FOP because unlike most TrueType
fonts, it doesn't seem to have Italic and BoldItalic forms: these forms of
the face appear to be generated by Windows transforming the upright forms on
the fly. I couldn't get FOP to deal with this and produce italic forms of
the font (not that I'm an expert). If anyone finds out a way to do this, I'd
be very happy to know about it.

Subject: add new fonts


I want to add font "Tohama" to FOP on Windows NT. 
I followed the instructions in the web site to generate font metrics xml
file and register it within FOP. 
The relative code in userconfig.xml is, 
<fonts> 
<!-- add new font tahoma --> 
 <font metrics-file="tohama.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="c:\winnt\fonts\tohama.ttf"> 
    <font-triplet name="Tohama" style="italic" weight="normal"/> 
    <font-triplet name="TohamaMT" style="italic" weight="normal"/> 
 </font> 
 <font metrics-file="tohamabd.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="c:\winnt\fonts\tohamabd.ttf"> 
    <font-triplet name="Tohama" style="italic" weight="bold"/> 
    <font-triplet name="TohamaMT" style="italic" weight="bold"/> 
 </font> 
 </fonts> 

and I put my tohama.xml and tohamabd.xml  in the same directory of fop.jar 


Then I run my file, 
fop -c conf/userconfig.xml -xsl test\cover.xsl -xml test\cover.xml
test\cover.pdf 
and still got the error said, 
[ERROR]: unknown font Tohama,normal,normal so defaulted font to any 


Anybody tell me what's wrong? 


Thanks in advance,
