thanks Giacomo and Colin,
i went through the logs again, and picked up that it wasnt finding the font. (i swear it wasn't in the logs before)
in my sitemap:
<user-config src=""d:/fop/conf/userconfig.xml"/>
in my userconfig.xml:
<font metrics-file="FZZQJW.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="FZZQJW.ttf">
the relative path to the metrics-file and embed-file actually points to my
D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2\bin directory which is odd.
i moved the files there and it works for my .pfb fonts, i have to do more testing with .ttf fonts though.
should i write up a blurb for http://xml.apache.org/cocoon2/pdf-serializer.html about this topic? i would like to contribute to cocoon's documentation in some way.
cheers,
jacob

I have not yet tried with the new fop 0.20.x but with the previous version the font files / metrics had to be either relative to the point the jvm was started (an unpreliable thing) or absolute paths. I always used absolute paths but have not tested with fop 0.20.x

Thanks for replying Giacomo,
the log files say its finding the config file alright (and i get an error if i dont reference it properly):
---
DEBUG 10002 [cocoon ] (Thread-31): FOPSerializer: Using config file d:/fop/conf/userconfig.xml
---
should the metric file and font file go in the same directory as the config file (outside of cocoon), or should the files all be referenced relative to the sitemap?

Have you looked into the log files for a message from FOPSerializer? It
should state whether or not it has found your configuration file.
