Re: [docbook-apps] embedding fonts in generated pdf

[Ron Catterall <ron@catterall.net>]

Is this any use on creating the font metrics - from the MML2SVG 
documentation./

 These font metrics files are created with ttfreader tool that
comes with FOP. To fully support a font, you need to create four XML 
font metrics files with FOP ttfreader.
The first file, named MyFont.xml, contains the normal style font 
metrics, from MyFont.ttf
for example. The second font metrics file, named MyFont-Italic.xml, 
contains all metrics information
about the italic font, from MyFontItalic.ttf for example. The third 
file, called My-
Font-Bold.xml, contains all information about the bold font, from 
MyFontBol.ttf. And the last
file, named MyFont-Bold-Italic.xml contains all metrics information 
about the bold italic font,
from MyFontBolIta.ttf for example.
