Hi,

we want to generate PDFs with Docbook to get different language output (e.g. 
Cyrillic, Japanese and simplified Chinese).
First we tried to generate Cyrillic output by doing the following:

Prerequisites:

·         FOP Version 0.94

·         updated XSL styles to use the font as body font

Steps:

1.       Installing a True Type Font for Cyrillic (ER Arial KOI-8) in the fonts 
directory

2.       Added the font to the fop.xconf:

     <font metrics-url=" file:///Q:/fop/fonts/ERARKOI8.xml"  kerning="yes" 
embed-url="file:///Q:/fop/fonts/ERARKOI8.TTF">

           <font-triplet name="ER Arial KOI-8" style="normal" weight="normal"/>

       </font>

Note from your Help:

Beginning with version 0.94 you can skip the generation of font metric files 
and remove the "font-metrics" attribute(?) in the font configuration. The font 
metrics files are, for the moment, still required if you use a TrueType 
Collection (*.ttc) and in that case you need to regenerate the font metrics 
file.

-->We only use a .ttf - but it didn't worked without a font-metrics attribute. 
The body text always was displayed with pound signs(#).


3.       So I decide to generate an appropriate font metrics file for it by 
entering the command line options:

java -cp build\fop.jar; -jar 
lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;lib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar

org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader

Q:\fop\fonts\ERARKOI8.TTF ERARKOI8.XML



But although I've added the correct version suffix to the jar files I got error 
messages:

                Unable to access jarfile 
lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;lib\commons-io-1.3.1.jar

When entering only the following:

java -cp build\fop.jar; -jar lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar

then this error message was displayed:

Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from lib\avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar




Is it possible that this True Type Font doesn't contain the so-called Unicode 
"cmap" table? How can I check this?
I'm not  so familiar with Java so please give me a hint how to solve this 
problems.

Thanks,
Isabel
