Hi all,

As most of you probably already know, you are currently able to map font references to a custom font as follows :-

<!-- register a particular font -->
<font metrics-url="file:///C:/myfonts/FTL_____.xml" kerning="yes"
   embed-url="file:///C:/myfonts/FTL_____.pfb">
   <font-triplet name="FrutigerLight" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>

But currently there is no provision for mapping a font reference to a base 14 font. I am looking to implement this feature and suggest the following configuration :-

<!-- register a font reference 'FrutigerLight' as the base 14 font 'Times' -->
<font base14="Times" style="italic" weight="normal">
     <font-triplet name="FrutigerLight" style="italic" weight="normal"/>
</font>

And possibly...

<font base14="Times">
     <font-triplet name="FrutigerLight" />
</font>

...could map all flavours of FrutigerLight (style=normal,bold,italic weight=normal,bold) references to matching base 14 'Times' font flavours? Or should it just default to normal?

Hope some people will find this new feature useful, and any suggestions or feedback on these suggested configurations would be gratefully appreciated.

Adrian.
