I had the same problem with FOP 0.20.5 standalone. I hand-edited the xml font
metrics file to match the pfb and afm files for BoundBox etc. to no effect.

Not to suggest that this is always the cause, but I was passing the -noedit
parameter to FOP. When I removed the -noedit parameter and made no other change,
the font embedded correctly. When I added -noedit back, the font again failed to
embed.

Re: Borders with 0.5pt in size renders improperly (0.20.5)

Ok, thx

Is this a general AWT issue or something with FOP (the AWTRenderer)? 
(which perhaps is solved in 0.91?)

Borders with 0.5pt in size renders improperly (0.20.5)

[mk...@exceldata.com]

Hello,

I'm currently using FOP 0.20.5 (haven't had time to try out 0.90 / 0.91 
yet), to print tables. My FO consists of cells with the following 
structure:

<table-cell border-left-width="0.5pt" border-right-width="0.5pt" 
border-top-width="0.5pt" border-bottom-width="0.5pt" 
border-before-style="solid"   border-before-color="#000000" 
border-after-style="solid" border-after-color="#000000" 
border-start-style="solid"   border-start-color="#000000" 
border-end-style="solid" border-end-color="#000000" 
padding-top="0.6515805553926605mm" padding-bottom="0.6515805553926605mm" 
padding-left="0.6515805553926605mm" padding-right="0.6515805553926605mm" 
font-size="6.517pt" color="#000000" background-color="#B2C7DB" 
text-align="left" column-number="5">
<block>Johannes Mortensen</block>
</table-cell> 

To "fit" a table to a single page, some pre-FOP code executes, which 
determines FOP column-widths and font-size from an input table (in this 
case Swing) and reduces column-widths and font-sizes proportionally to 
make the table "fit-to-page". However when doing this the borders 
(previously of size 1pt) becomes very dominating (i.e. too thick), so I 
wanted to reduce the border-width to 0.5pt.

This works nicely with the PDF renderer (i.e. the PDF looks good - borders 
are thinner and complete), but the AWTRenderer (used for preview + print) 
doesn't render it properly. The top + left border is drawn "inside" the 
cell (i.e. part of cell background is visible on the outside of the 
border), and the left/right borders doesn't connect to the bottom border 
(on some cells).

Is this a known limitation of the AWT rendering or can anyone give me a 
hint as to what I'm doing wrong?
