Type 1 font problem

[Lucio Tatantino <lu...@volendo.com>]

Hello,
I'have a little problem whith FOP 0.18 and Type 1 font (Embedded). In
according with doc.

1. I generate the .xml file with org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.PFMReader
(all ok)

PFM Reader v1.1

Reading CODE128B.PFM...

Font: Code128B
Name: Barcode128B
CharSet: WinAnsi
CapHeight: 0
XHeight: 0
LowerCaseAscent: 0
LowerCaseDescent: 0
Having widths for 223 characters (32-255).
for example: Char 32 has a width of 500

Creating xml font file...

Writing xml font file code128.xml...

2. I modify the userconfig.xml with the lines

 <font metrics-file="code128.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="/home/lucio/label/CODE128B.PFM">
    <font-triplet name="Barcode128B" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
 </font>

3. I run the fop without errors
FOP 0.17.0 DEV
using SAX parser org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
building formatting object tree
setting up fonts
formatting FOs into areas
 [1]
 [2]
rendering areas to PDF
Writing 7220 bytes of font data
writing out PDF
Embedded Type1 font


But when I use the resoult PDF the fonts isn't displayed ( Only a line
si rendered! ) and if I print my acroread ( 4.05 fro Linux ) the message
"Unable to riestrieve Embedded font Barcode128B" is displayed.

I've tried other PFM font and the resoult is the same. With TTF fonts
all work fine.

You've embedded the .pfm file, you must embed the .pfb file.
