Hi, Thanks for the replies, I only started to notice this problem when I switched from -enc ansi ans started embedding the font, unfortunatly I need to embed the font as I need to render unicode characters. My simplified example was used to reduce the problem down to the bare essentials
How when I know when/if the FOray font library is improoved? Will there be a new commit into FOP or just a library version bump?

In addition to Jeremias comments I would add that there is a workaround for this problem in the case where you are only using plain ASCII characters. Specify the -enc ansi when you generate the font metrics using TTFReader.
