Re: problemsin register a font

Barbara, since you're new to FOP, why don't you consider using the
latest FOP version instead (0.95)? The API and the configuration format is
different (after a redesign) but configuring fonts is much easier than
with FOP 0.20.5. You don't need to create XML font metrics files anymore
using TTFReader.

Take a look at the documentation for 0.95:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html#basics

If you're running into problems with that, please follow up on
the official FOP support list: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org
More info:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/maillist.html#fop-user

Good luck!
