Unable to create font metric file of Arial Unicode MS with fop 0.93
I was using my old metric file(fop 0.25) with fop 0.93
but fop 0.93 asked me to regenerate the metric file.
So I tried to generate the metric file for Arial
Unicode MS with fop 0.93 but it gives the error below.
Did I do something wrong?

Yes. Try wikipedia, search for unicode. This will bring you to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_typefaces#List_of_Unicode_fonts
Note that "supporting unicode" is *always* just a part of Unicode. The
standard encompasses a whopping 98K+ characters and the font that has
most glyphs as of this writing is the free Code2000 (51K+ chars) closely
followed by Microsoft's New Gulim (46K+ chars), which is part of Office.
You'll probably need a font-analysis tool to find out whether your file
is really corrupted or not. It doesn't say much that an application can
access certain glyphs. Font metrics file creation accesses *all*
characters/glyphs and any mistake in the file may cause it to crash.
Anyway, I do not know enough about the internals of TTF to help you
found out whether the problem is in there or somewhere else.

I doubt that my file is corrupted. I'm able to the
font in MS Word. The modified date on the font file is
January 12, 1999, 8:59:20 AM.
I did try with other font and it is processing without
error.
Do you know of other fonts that are supporting
unicode?

From the error, it seems that the converter is trying to read beyond
the end of the file. Are you sure the TTF file is not corrupted? My
ARIALUNI.TTF file is 23.275.812 bytes in size (but that doesn't say
much, I don't know how to find out which version I have) and yours seems
bigger.
Can you try the same command with another font on your system? Do you
get the same error?
