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.
