Generating font metricss file for Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica and Times-Roman?

It looks like if I want to have embedded fonts I need to
generate a
"font matrics file".
Here how I have been trying to do that ...

[planktondell002 BOOKS]$ cat MakeFontMatrixFile.sh
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_02
JAVA=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
FOP_HOME=/usr/share/java
CP=$FOP_HOME/fop.jar:
$FOP_HOME/avalon-framework.jar

#PFM_FILE=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/helvetic/uhvb8a.p
fb
PFM_FILE=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lm/lmb10.pfm
$JAVA -cp $CP 
org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.PFMReader -enc ansi $PFM_FILE
my_font_matrix_file.xml

... the problem I am having is that lmb10.pfm is not the pfm
file for
Helvetic-Bold, Helvetica or Times-Roman.  Where are the pfm
files for
these fonts?

Thanks

I have had a minor success.  I realized that I do not have
to use
Helvetic-Bold, Helvetica or Times-Roman (At least I hope I
do not.)
Because I was able to subsitutue Times-Roman for
LMRomanDemi10-Regular.  This is the font in the lmb10.pfm
PFM file.
What I had to do was this ...

Edit my userconfig.xml like so ...

# cd /usr/share/fop/conf/
# cp userconfig.xml userconfig.xml_20070919
# vim userconfig.xml
# diff userconfig.xml userconfig.xml_20070919

35c35
< <!-- -->

<  <font metrics-file="lmb10.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-file="lmb10.pfb">
<     <font-triplet
name="LMRomanDemi10-Regular"
style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
<  </font>

Go to the directory where I have my stuff ...

[planktondell002 ~]$ cd NOTES/COOP/LULU_BOOKS/

Add this line to my customization style sheet file ...

<xsl:param
name="body.font.family">LMRomanDemi10-Regular&l
t;/xsl:param>

... here's my complete customization style sheet ....

[planktondell002 LULU_BOOKS]$ cat style_pdf.xsl
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlnssl=&q
uot;http://www
.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:fo="http://www.w3

    version="1.0">

<xsl:import

k.xsl"/>
<xsl:param
name="body.font.family">LMRomanDemi10-Regular&l
t;/xsl:param>

<xsl:param name="shade.verbatim"
select="1"></xsl:param>
<xsl:attribute-set
name="shade.verbatim.style">
  <xsl:attribute
name="background-color">#FFFFCC</xsl:attribu

</xsl:attribute-set>
<xsl:attribute-set

  <xsl:attribute
name="background-color">#EFF8F8</xsl:attribu
te>
</xsl:attribute-set>
<xsl:param
name="hyphenate">false</xsl:param>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Now I generate my font matrix file:

Now I need to know how to replace the Helvetica fonts ...
anyone have
any good suggestions  on which font and how I need to edit

Thanks.

Hi,

You appear to be on a Linux box. Install the gsfonts package
(“Fonts for 
the Ghostscript interpreter(s)”). You will get clones of
the 35 
well-known Postscript fonts, among which the base 14 PDF
fonts (Times, 
Helvetica, Courier...).
Go to the directory where these fonts are installed
(probably 
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts)
    $ grep FullName *.afm
You will get, for each file, the name of the font described
in it. 
“Nimbus Roman No9 L” corresponds to Times, ”Nimbus
Sans L” to Helvetica, 
“Nimbus Mono L” to Courier. Pick up the corresponding
pfm files and 
generate the xml metrics like you did. You’re done.

HTH,
Vincent

Thanks Vincent,

I am using FC6 and there does seem to be a gsfonts rpm
available on my
yum server.
There is a ghostscript rpm and I have that installed but it
doesn't seem to have
files for the Helvetica fonts.  I decided to give up on
Helvetica fonts and just
use the the Roman font I found.  To make sure that all fonts
used in my PDF
I did this in my custome style sheet ...

<xsl:param
name="body.font.family">LMRomanDemi10-Regular&l
t;/xsl:param>
<xsl:param
name="title.font.family">LMRomanDemi10-Regular&
lt;/xsl:param>

and this in my userconf.xml file ...

<fonts>
 <font metrics-file="lmb10.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-file="lmb10.pfb">
    <font-triplet name="LMRomanDemi10-Regular"
style="normal" weight="normal"/>
 </font>
 <font metrics-file="lmb10.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-file="lmb10.pfb">
    <font-triplet name="LMRomanDemi10-Regular"
style="normal" weight="bold"/>
 </font>
</fonts>
... now when I make my PDF I get this output from pdffonts
...

[planktondell002 LULU_BOOKS]$ pdffonts ideal_bartender_g.pdf
name                                 type         emb sub
uni object ID
------------------------------------ ------------ --- ---
--- ---------
LMRomanDemi10-Regular                Type 1       yes no  no
    116  0
LMRomanDemi10-Regular                Type 1       yes no  no
    120  0

... and this acceptable to lulu.com so its ok by me
