I believe the @name attribute in font-triplet must match the font name recorded in the font file, which is "DroidSans" in this case. There are ways to alias fonts in FOP, but not by just using the name attribute.

Hi,
I'm attempting font-embedding with Apache FOP 1.1 with difficulties. Is
there a tutorial on setting this up?

In my xsl customization layer I set "body.font.family" to 'Droid'.
<xsl:param name="body.font.family">Droid</xsl:param>

In my fo configuration file, I specify the TrueType font:
  <font

embed-url="file:///AppDocs/tex/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/droid/DroidSans.ttf">
   <font-triplet name="Droid" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>

specified in the renderer for application/pdf. When I compile the
document, I don't see any errors or warnings, but Droid is not listed in
the fonts, let alone being embedded.

But the settings have some effect though, since the body text in the pdf
has '#' for each character that is supposed to be in the body font.

I am reading the fop fonts doc (with 1.1 the metrics are optional it says).
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/fonts.html

and the DocBook XSL Guide on fonts:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/AddFont.html

Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
thanks,
--Tim
