Re: [docbook-apps] Change in font messing up TOC

[David Shevitz <dshevitz@singlestep.com>]

I'm using FOP 0.20.5 at the moment. I created a configuration file so 
FOP would use Verdana (I think that's a necessary step, correct?) I also 
used a FOP utility to create the metrics files for the different Verdana 
fonts (normal, bold, italic, and bold italic).

I appreciate any help--and I'm happy to supply any additional 
information if needed.

Thanks,

Dave Shevitz
