Could it be that the generated font metrics is incorrect? Yes, I believe the current PFMReader ignores the PFB file which has some parts of the font metrics in them. Ok. Is there any workaround? Any advises? Thank you.

Re: Table columns with custom font incorrectly aligned
Nope. You're confusing things, I'm afraid. It's correct that some metric information needed by FOP is not present in PFM files, only in PFB (but which are currently not parsed). The problem here is most probably kerning. We've had that problem before. I just can't find the right thread right now. I think Jörg had an explanation (but I don't remember it). I used to propose to manually remove the kerning elements in the generated XML font metric file. This disables kerning for this font but normally solves the alignment problem.
