TTFreader not able to convert barcode font into XML
Hi,
FOP TTF reader is not able to convert the barcode font into XML metrics file. It was able to convert other fonts like TIMES and COUR etc.,
Could you please advise.

I already told you what the problem is: FOP has a problem with TrueType
fonts that don't contain cmap tables. Someone has to take a look and try
to fix it if this is to be solved.

Yes, the "base 14" fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier, ZapfDingbats and
Symbol) are "built-in". Your probably didn't see Times because it might
be replaced internally by your PDF viewer by another, similar font with
a different name. As long as the text is displayed correctly, you're ok.
No need to explicitely (re)define the base 14 fonts.

Why? Was there a problem?

That's not a good argument. Barcode4J doesn't even require a font. It
generates the barcodes as graphics.

Jeremias, thanks for your help.
I dont know exactly who installed this font in our company. Its already in the machine and its called 3of9 barcode font(3of9.ttf). thats what we see in MS word. If I try to convert the word into PDF using the Adobe 6.0 standard --> create PDF from file, it creates the PDF with the barcode font. I am trying to accomplish the same, Please advise.
Also another thing I should tell you, I could not see TIMES and COUR fonts in the PDF so I had create a metrics file for each and enable them in the userconfig file. Aren't they supposed so showup without creating the XML metrics file because these are the default fonts supported by Adobe.
I have tried using K3 barcode font from 0.91 beta but in vain.
and I dont think I can go for the Barcode4J because we have already used 3of9barcode in word documents.

I have two alternatives for you:
- Find another 3 of 9 barcode font. For example, you can use the K3.ttf
font that is in the examples/fo/advanced folder in the 0.91beta
distribution.
- Or you can use Barcode4J which is a barcode generator that works with

You probably need to add
-enc ansi
to the command line, see

In addition to the information Clay has already asked for. We are going
to need to see the error message you get when you run the TTFReader.

In order to help, we'll need more info.
What is the FONT name? Is there a URL where it can be downloaded for
testing?
Which version of FOP (0.20.5? 0.91x? TRUNK?)
Which JVM/JRE? (1.3x, 1.4x, 1.5x?)
Also, you shouldn't need to create XML metrics files for Times or
Courier, as they're in the BASE-14[1].
