Font on Linux

[Stefano Barella <st...@one.it>]

Hi to all, I have to use some Font in FOP application to 
Create my PDF files.
I can use Font in Windows System, putting into userconfig.xml 
File the following lines :
 
 <!-- ARIAL -->
...
 <font metrics-file="arial.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\arial.ttf">
    <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
    <font-triplet name="ArialMT" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
 </font>
...
 
I have created the xml file processing the file ARIAL.ttf through
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader FOP class.
My question is how can I use in Linux (Caldera) operating system ?
The problem is in the userconfig.xml, the lines which I wrote contains 
A reference to a Windows ttf file:
embed-file="C:\WINNT\Fonts\arial.ttf" 
 
May anyone help me ?
 
Thank u
Bye 
  Stefano Barella

Transfer the TTF file to the Linux system, let's say into
directory /usr/fonts/ttf and set the embed-file value to
the corrensponding value:
  embed-file="/usr/fonts/ttf/Arial.ttf"

Check the font license qhether you actually are allowed to use
it this way.

And please stop sending HTML mail (even better: stop using
Outlook)

That's a reference to a font file itself for the sake of embedding into 
a generated pdf, there is no connection to Windows or other OS, that 
just have to be valid absolute or relative path to the file.
