Thanks David,
I'm working on a Linux box, and was trying to use the fonts from my TeX
installation.
I did finally succeed:
These lines in the fop configuration file:
<directory
recursive="true">/AppDocs/tex/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</directory>
<directory
recursive="true">/AppDocs/tex/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1</directory>
That will automatically embed the fonts; if there is a type1 font with the
same name as a truetype font, it wins (I guess because it comes second in
the list). However, in my version of fop (1.1), subsetting type1 fonts is
not supported.
Also, by specifying the body font in the stylesheets like this:
<xsl:param name="body.font.family" select="'NimbusRomNo9L-Regu, Meiryo'"/>
For Latin characters, the Nimbus fonts are used (it is a Times clone), and
when it runs into characters not available in that font, it switches to
Meiryo (a Japanese Unicode font).
thanks,
--Tim
