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!
An example to reproduce the issue:
Run test: >fop -fo test.out.fo -afp test.out.afp -c fop_with_TrueTypeFonts.xconf
--Start: test.out.fo--
