Adding additional Type 1 fonts
Hi,
I have added additional Type 1 fonts as per
"http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html". I want to adjust the font kerning in
the font xml file, but I don't know how. Can anyone, please, help.

Normally, the PFMReader extracts kerning information from the PFM file
if it exists. So if you don't disable kerning in userconfig.xml, you
should get kerning. If you really want to adjust the kerning pairs of a
font you may want to look into the XML metric file. You may be able to
do something there. And you'll probably need to read the Type 1 specs
for that.
If you rather want to manipulate character spacing you should look at
7.16.2 "letter-spacing" property and make sure you have the latest FOP
version.
I hope this helps.
