Have you tried to use absolute URIs for either the <font-base> element or the metrics-url attribute on the <font> elements? These methods work for me. For example, <font-base>file:///c:/Java/fop-0.93/conf/</font-base> or <font metrics-url="file:///C:/Java/fop-0.93/conf/gara.xml" kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/GARA.TTF"> <font-triplet name="Garamond" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> /MJ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
