Do I need to generate a different font metrics file for Unix and Windows

[Siobhan]

Hi,
I am embedding a font by generating a font metrics file and passing this file to FOP through the use of the FOP configuration file. I have created tests that are run on both Windows and Unix machines. However, when the test is run on Unix, it fails saying that it cannot load the font from the metrics file (pmingliu.xml). I generated this metrics file on Windows. Do I need to generate a metrics file on the Unix platform too? Are the metrics files different for different platforms?
thanks

No, you don't need to generate separate font metrics for the two
platforms. They are the same. You probably just have a bad path in your
configuration on Unix.

You look for the line end characters?

Hi
I will investigate into this further. I have attached the configuration file to see if you can see anything wrong in the meantime. Thanks for such a speedy response!

To clarify, the issue was that the path contained backslashes, I changed this to forward slashes and now all tests work on both Unix and Windows.
Cheers
