support for type 1 fonts
Jeremias Maerki has contributed support for type 1 fonts to the Fop
project bases on the work by Alain Fagot. I tested it with good
results.
Here is a general outline of the necessary steps
1) You have to generate from the pfm file of the font you want to use
an xml font file with the org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.PFMReader
2) You must change build.xml to include your new font files in the
build process
3) You must patch org.apache.fop.render.pdf.FontSetup to make
the information about the new fonts accessible
You can find Jeremias' very good and detailed description, how to
compile your font into Fop, in docs/xml-docs/fop/fonts.xml (just use
makedoc and read fop.pdf)
As soon as Avalon is used for configuration purposes we can do the
next step and try to do without recompilation.
Many thanks to Jeremias and Alain
