Using a non-standard font in FOP

[Richard Korthuis <ri...@max.nl>]

Hello,

 

For a commercial application I want to use FOP with the Garamond-font to
generate a PDF-file. Can I simply embed the Windows Garamond-font or are
there any licensing issues I should consider? Do I have to pay to use this
font? If so where can I get a license to use this font?

 

Regards

Almost everything you'll want to know about FOP's Font related stuff is 
here (configuring, adding, default fonts, etc.):

http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html

As for  font licensing, that's a little out of the scope of this 
project. IANAL, but if you are licensed to use a font, then I suspect 
you are within your rights to build a PDF file with said fonts. When 
you get the font, I suspect that it will come with a license which 
identifies what you can do with said font.
