problems importing fonts

Hey Guys,

Attempting to import some default windows fonts such as Wingdings 2, and
I get an error saying Unicode CMAP table not present. I see on the fop
website it does tell me I might experience issues such as this, but how
would I go about fixing it? Is there a way to repair a font ? Or do I
have to obtain these fonts from another source rather than just stealing
them from my windows installation.

Thanks!
Martin.

Yeah - from what I can see it's a limitation of the java font reader -  
will have a fiddle and see what I can achieve.

Thanks
Martin

FOP isn't the only XSL-FO Formatter that doesn't support True Type Fonts 
  without CMAP table. If you have Font Editing Software maybe you can 
add the table to the Font yourself. Otherwise you will have to find the 
font from an alternative source.

Chris
