Bug#518798: fop: no longer embeds additional fonts

[brian m. carlson]

Package: fop
Version: 1:0.95.dfsg-4
Severity: important

I have the PalatinoLinotype font available on my system[0].  With the
configuration file that I have attached, fop 0.94 would automatically
find and use that font, since it was specified in the FO.  With fop
0.95, not only is the font not embedded, it isn't even referenced in the
PDF, and instead of text, I get lots and lots of # signs.

Creating FO that refers to Times instead of PalatinoLinotype solves this
problem.  Using explicit metrics sizes in the fop configuration file
(such as the ones that are commented out in the attached file) has no
effect whatsoever.  As far as I can tell, fop is completely unusable
with fonts other than the base 14.

I've attached a FO source file and the corresponding PDF as well as the
configuration file; if you need me to do other tests, I'm happy to do
so.  All the files are bzip2'd so as to be more gentle on the mail
servers.
