Re: Fonts in Linux environment

The solution that I found

1) Moved the ttf files into classpath.
2) Created the metric files using
java -cp
./fop-0.95-1.jar;./xmlgraphics-commons-1.3.1.jar;commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;./commons-io-1.3.1.jar
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader -enc ansi Arial.ttf Arial.xml

3)Made my base directory and font directory same. Both containing the xml
and ttf file.

I dont know what part was required or could have been done away but as of
now PDF generation with embedded font is working.

Thanks for help everyone
