Including Fonts in 20.4
I want to include windows fonts in my PDF, but not embed them.
I converted the ttf font to XML, added it to my config file then I
made the change below to FontInfo.java to prevent the exception
that occurred where the embedFile is cast to a File object.
FOP seemed to run just fine and produced the PDF but when I go
to display the PDF, I get an error "110" problem with the document.
I tried to create a similar document with Acrobat and the major
difference
in the PDF is that there is font width information in the in the Font
declaration
section. I also noticed that the XML font file that I produce is much
different
that the XML font file that are part of the FOP source distribution ??
Is the XML File being produced correctly ?
Did I miss something ??
TIA
John G
Changes to FontInfo.java.

Found it, for some reason if I am not embedding fonts I need
to encode the xml file with option "-enc ansi" once I did that it
worked fine.
For this next version of FOP, can we make the change to FontInfo.java ??

Oleg,
In short yes but... when you pull out that tag it causes the variable embedFile
to become null. This is fine since FontReader.java code states that you need
to supply a null if you don't want to embed the font info. Presumably since the
BasrDir feature was implemented, the FontInfo.java code tries to apply a test
to determine if the embedFile is absolute and if it isn't it prepends basedir,
this
test causes an NPE to occur which results in the message "Failed to read font
metrics file : null "
As I stated in my previous email, I added code to fix the NPE and it produced
the PDF without complaint. I just can't read it with Acrobat Reader. I also tried
to generate a similar file using Acrobat so I could compare differences. The main
difference is that the Font declaration in the PDF is missing a section named
"Widths"
This cause me to look at the XML Font files in the FOP source which is where I
discovered that the XML Font Files I generated with TTFReader were very
different.

Ahem, what is the difference? Have you tried this way?
"If you do not want the font embedded in the PDF then remove the "embed-file"
attribute. The PDF will then contain text using the font with the font metrics
and to view it properly the font will need to be installed where it is being
viewed." (http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html)
