Hi, Jeremias! Thank you for answering! Nevertheless, in my servlet, I hand over my own logger to the fop-driver Here is the "normal" log if I don't use special fonts or if the path to ttf is simply wrong: (this is the webapps log, since I hand over the servlets logger to the fop driver).

With some modifications on the paths not even the two [1] lines show up. There is no tomcat error message on the screen but simply a transparent browser tab on firefox and in IE the 404 error page. (But the webapp was found and run) In tomcat logs, I don't find any error message either. And here is the current version of fop-config.xml (I tried a lot with windows path and URI versions: <font metrics-file="file://D:/Programme/Tomcat-5.5/webapps/pdfnewsletter/WEB-INF/f onts/font1.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="E:\sonja\projekte\mainovaJ5\etc\fonts\Sssb____.ttf"> <font-triplet name="customFont" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> <font metrics-file="file://D:/Programme/Tomcat-5.5/webapps/pdfnewsletter/WEB-INF/f onts/font1_b.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="E:\sonja\projekte\mainovaJ5\etc\fonts\Ss______.ttf"> <font-triplet name="customFont" style="normal" weight="bold"/> </font> No better if I change to forward slashes in the embed-file attribute. It works well with tomcat 4.1.24 under Windows. For the win/linux problem: I haven't yet tried tomcat 5.5 under Linux, only 5.0.30 ;-) If I tried even more tomcats and learn more at least for the statistics ;-), I'll write again.
