Font embedding of fop in unix

Greetings to all,

I am trying to embed Japanese font in unix.(In windows I was able to do this
succesfully.)

I moved MSMINCHO.ttf(TTF file corresponding to Japanese) present in windows
machine to /var/tmp/test/ folder in UNIX. When I issue the following command
for generating the metrics file , I get the error as
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/tmp/test/MSMINCHO.ttf (No such file or
directory)

Command I used for generating metrics file:  

java -cp
/var/tmp/test/fop-0.20.5/build/fop.jar:/var/tmp/test/fop-0.20.5/lib/avalon-framework.jar:/var/tmp/test/fop-0.20.5/lib/xml-apis.jar:/var/tmp/test/fop-0.20.5/lib/xerces-1.4.4.jar:/var/tmp/test/fop-0.20.5/lib/xerces-2.0.1.jar
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader    /var/tmp/test/MSMINCHO.ttf
/var/tmp/test/MSMINCHO.xml

Is it neccessary to install the TTF font before creating the metrics file?
Or is there some other reason for this problem?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
princy

No, it's not necessary to install the font to generate the font metrics
files. Maybe you simply have a permission problem in that directory.
