How can I check this? You will have to use a Font Editor to verify the presence of the Unicode CMAP table, but this is not what the error is saying. The error is a classpath issue. I don't believe you require the metrics file, so no point in debugging this further. Instead you need to find an alternative font that does contain glyphs for the unicode characters in your XSL-FO File. If you send your XSL-FO File and Font File we can offer more specific advice. I’m not so familiar with Java so please give me a hint how to solve this problems.

embedding fonts fails for Cyrillic
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: 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?
