This means the Java VM can't load the class in the error message. The clue is to supply the necessary jar files in the classpath. This involves the -cp parameter. I suggest that if you plan to use Java in the future that you at least read about some basics on launching the Java VM. The documentation about the TTFReader is not 100% correct, because the -cp parameter has been left out. For a Java programmer this becomes clear in a second. :-) Just use the same -cp parameter as shown above on that particular page for the Type 1 fonts. You may have to adjust the filenames because the jars often have version numbers in their name and the documentation is not updated every time. I hope this helps.

How do I fix this?
