Trying to use TTFReader

Hi.

I was trying to use the TTFReader to render a TTF font to a metric file. 
I used the command provided in the documentary (Win XP, Java1.5.0, FOP 
0.20 and 0.90, command: "

java -cp build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework.jar;lib\xml-apis.jar;
         lib\xercesImpl.jar;lib\xalan.jar
           org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader [options]
             C:\myfonts\cmr10.ttf ttfcm.xml

") and changed the filenames to the ones of my actual FOP files. But 
anytime I try to convert a font I get this error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory

        at org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader.main(TTFReader.java:155)


I played around a bit with the option flag, but that didn't change 
anything. Can anybody tell me, what's my mistake?

Best Regards
Manuel

Our fault. We missed a little detail on the page that documents fonts
for 0.90. You need to add an entry for "lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar"
(and "lib\commons-io-1.1.jar") on the command-line because that's where
"org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory" is found.

The following works for me on JDK 1.4 and 1.5:
java -cp build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;lib\commons-io-1.1.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader FUTURAB.TTF futurab.xml

"xml-apis.jar", "xercesImpl.jar" and "xalan.jar" are only necessary on
JDK 1.3.x.

I hope that helps. I'll update the documentation.

I've got the same problem, using fop 0.20.5.

 From within the fop root directory, I issue this command:

/home/joe/jre1.5.0_04/bin/java -cp 
"build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework.jar;lib\xml-apis.jar;lib\xercesImpl.jar;lib\xalan.jar" 
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader 
/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf metrics.xml

It gives this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/apache/fop/fonts/apps/TTFReader

Is there any solution to this problem?

Thank you,

Teus.

It seems the command line is missing a class path entry for the
commons logging jar. You should find the jar in the lib directory.
