No, FOP supports both TrueType and Type 1 fonts. See http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/fonts.html#advanced > > Any idea what I may be missing ? > XXE allows to quickly and easily instruct FOP to embed one of more TrueType (not Type 1, not OpenType) fonts. This done by using "Options|Preferences", "Add-on|FOP" and then restarting XXE. Besides this facility, which works fine, we provide no support for configuring FOP. --- PS: How to use "Options|Preferences", "Add-on|FOP" is outlined in this FAQ: "When I convert documents written in Russian (or Polish or Czech or any non-western language) to PDF, almost all characters are replaced by the "#" character. Is there a workaround for this problem?" http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/faq.html#custom_pdf_fonts -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
