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?

Cheers

Karl

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.
