RE: FOP conversion font problems

David,
I was able to succesfully create an metrics xml file from a ttf file.
However, the syntax at the Apache sight would not run.
(http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html) I removed some of what
seemed to me to be the incorrect syntax (maybe repeated in error). I
ran the line again and I did get something. However, I then had to
figure out the error messages (thank goodness for these list
archives). I was then able to get a successful run. Here are my
notes. (below) I hope this will help others who are having the same
problems.
