Re: [docbook-apps] org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: Font configurationwithout metric-url

Hi Andrew,

Since your question is very FOP specific, I’d suggest you to use the 
fop-user@ mailing list [1] in the future.

With FOP 0.94 you no longer need to generate XML metrics files. You can 
simply register your font like this:
    <font kerning="yes" embed-url="path/to/MyFont.ttf">
        <font-triplet name="MyFont" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
    </font>

You can even rely on a more automatic (but sometimes less reliable) 
detection mechanism by just specifying directories where to look up for 
fonts:
    <directory recursive="true">/path/to/font/directory/</directory>
See [2] for more details.

If you still have problems please post your config file on fop-user@.

HTH,
Vincent
