Problem with fonts on Macintosh

["Athalye, Rishi" <RA...@skandia.com>]

Hi,

I am accessing a PDF created through FOP on a Mac m/c. The PDF opens up with
a 
"Unable to find or create the font '37E92bbTimesNewRoman'  " error  and the
text does not render properly.
Everytime I open the PDF, it has a different code\number in front of
'TimesNewRoman' in the message.

Has anyone come across this ? What is the solution ?
I am using a font metrics file and embedding the font file by specifying the
following in the userconfig.xml

<font metrics-file="file:///D:/java/lib/fop-0.20.3/conf/ttftimes.xml"
kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\TIMES.ttf">
    <font-triplet name="TimesNewRoman" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font> 


Would appreciate any help\clues.


Thanks.

The number before the "TimesNewRoman" is not part of a regular
error message. This probably indicatess a buglet in the reader.

Try a standard PDF font first (simply delete all font-family="..."
properties). If this works, try to substifute some other TTF font
in the userconfig, like
  <font metrics-file="file:///D:/java/lib/fop-0.20.3/conf/ttfarial.xml"
  kerning="yes" embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\arial.ttf">
      <font-triplet name="TimesNewRoman" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
  </font>
(No need to rename the font in the FO)

It also shouldn't hurt to upgrade to 0.20.4.
