Thanks.  I will check the fop-dev list.

I think it would be really important to support the Adobe OpenType font
pack for Asian languages, since it would allow for complete open source
support of Asian languages without requiring any font embedding or
proprietary font licensing.

I don't have any working knowledge of OpenType fonts or CFF glyphs, but
I am willing to help out with any implementation task if I can be of use
to get this done.

Dave

Jeremias,

Are there any plans to support OpenType fonts in FOP?  Do you know what
the scope of the effort would be?

Regards,
Dave

If you mean the Japanese font pack for Acrobat 7, those are OpenType
fonts which are currently not supported by FOP.

Font Metrics for Adobe Acrobat Asian Font Pack

2006-08-03 Thread David Nesbitt
Title: Font Metrics for Adobe Acrobat Asian Font Pack






Does anyone know how to create FOP font metrics for the Adobe Acrobat Asian font pack?  I would like to support Japanese documents without having to embed the Microsoft TrueType fonts in the PDF file.

Alternatively, does anyone have a font metrics file they can send to me?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Dave
