Problem with kerning on a font
I am having problems with fixing the kerning xml file generated with
TTFReader,
It has not got the right values for me or ti I need to therefore find the
correct codes in the font.xml file.
But the numbering doesn't make sense? Ie what character is 3? Ie <kerning
kxp1="3">
Or is there another way to get the correct kerning file?
Kindest regards

That solved it thanks,
The main difference in the file I saw was the old file had TYPE0 section at the beginning, so that fixed the kerning problem by getting 1.0 and regenerating the metrics file.

Hi Theresa,
FOP 0.2x TTFReader was buggy.
You can try to generate metrics files using a TTFReader that comes with
a recent FOP version. Such metrics files should work with older FOP
versions.
I don't remember if FOP 0.2x metrics generation proceeded in the same
way as current FOP version. See [1] if needed.

Hi Theresa,
I don't know if you're aware of this, but font metrics files are
deprecated as of FOP1.0. So the first question would be what FOP
version are you using? Presumably the font you're using does have the
correct kerning values? Have you checked that?
