Description

Hello,

In the latest FOP 2.0 Release, it does not support True Type fonts (ex: Trebuchet MS) in AFP and could not display special characters (ex: Euro sign ) or barcodes. Then we tried with FOP Trunk - a version more recent than the latest release - and it supports well True Type fonts and can display Euro sign character in AFP output. But this Trunk version throws the other issue: "Gif images cannot display if its AFP file uses True Type fonts".

Could you please have a look? and How can I work around this?

Thank you!
