Metric Files
Hi @ all,
I would like to have some theoretical background knowledge about metric files. Does anyone can tell me a bit about the build up or some links where all that <pair kpx2="182" kern="-78"/> ... and so on is explained?
Thanks a lot and have a nice day
TBL

Good enough to do the job. ;-) What's the reason for the question?

FOP's format for metric files is pretty arbitrary. We parse Type 1 and
TrueType files and write these XML files to have a common format to work
with. Please not that these XML files will be obsolete sooner or later
when we can directly parse the font files.
You can find more info in the various font specifications:
