Configuring 1.0 Fonts (PDF rendering)

Well I'm having one hell of a time making heads or tails of how to config Helvetica as a font for FOP 1.0 PDF rendering. I was using 0.94 and need to test 1.0 for production and would like to configure Helvetica for this. While using 0.94 I created metric files for Arial as I was unable to do so for Helvetica. Read somewhere (searching mailing lists and ) that this is not necessary anymore and want to move to the corporate font for manuals.

So my question is how can I configure Helvetica in 1.0 for PDF rendering? Any insight will be appreciated.

Basically, you can leave everything as it is except remove the
"metrics-url" attribute from the <font> tag. The <font-triplet> is
probably still necessary to make sure the name "Helvetica" is redirected
to your embedded font instead of the implicit base 14 font.
