Re: Using a custom OTF font (was: Possible to avoid page breaks between table rows with keep-together?)
Steffanina, please don't hijack threads or at least change the subject.
Thanks.
If the font is well done, it should be working in FOP without change.
You can treat it like a TrueType font. If it doesn't, please let us know
what doesn't work. Documentation as on our website:

Oh yeah, that's the one catch that is often found with OTF fonts: our
lack of support for the Compact Font Format (CFF). Probably not too
difficult to implement but so far nobody had enough of an itch to
do it. I guess that leaves you with two options:
1. Implement support for CFF in FOP.
2. Try to convert the font into a TrueType font with TrueType glyph data
instead of CFF glyph data. The first stop here is probably http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/
Sorry for not remembering that possibility earlier.

RE: Using a custom OTF font (was: Possible to avoid page breaks between table rows with keep-together?)
Posted by "Steffanina, Jeff" <Je...@marriott.com>.
Sorry for the thread mix-up earlier.... I wasn't watching where I was
clicking.
The original custom fonts had an extension of .otf I have used the
same file names with both the .otf and .ttf extensions with the same
result.
Can anyone suggest a way to get around the CFF issue below?

If I send you the font file, can you try to load it?
