Re: FOP 0.94 : font auto detection test
To your question: Where are the xml metrics files ? They are not needed anymore. Today, we have a resonable well working font loading mechanism which makes metric files unnecessary since manual tweaking of the values is not needed anymore. Well, that's the theory. Auto-configuration still is a step backwards for a few minor points: - TrueType collections are not supported with auto-config, yet. - Some special fonts like Symbol may not be handled correctly. But then, it's still possible to configure the fonts explicitely with font metric files.

Hi Jeremias, I didn't know this. I haven't read the whole of fop documentation, but if theses informations are not present, it could be interesting to add them.

At first glance, I would not take these to be errors in the font- detection routine per se, but they seem to point to limitations in the types of font-files FOP can currently handle, or errors in the suppositions the current code makes about the location of ascender/ descender pairs or Unicode CMAPs in the font-files?
