Re: PFM font embedding problems.

Dennis, an addition to Oleg's answer: I've posted a checklist a while ago that describes how to tweak the values in the XML font metric file generated by the PFM Reader. Yes, sometimes it's necessary to alter the generated file. That will change when we have an AFM and an improved PFB parser.
