Hi Mansour,

> How can we register TTF-fonts like Palatino which is installed 
> in win2000 in font.xml file??

The whole procedure is described in the User Guide, doc/userguide.pdf. 
Essentially, you have to:

1) copy all outlines of Palatino (normal, bold, bold italic, italic) to 
     afm/ subdirectory;
2) for each outline, determine its exact internal name by running 

     java com.renderx.adobe.AFM -getname yourfont.ttf

3) create font descriptors in font.xml, specifying internal names 
    in the 'name' attribute for the font;
4) create aliases "Palatino", "Palatino-Bold", "Palatino-Italic", 
   "Palatino-BoldItalic" inside the respective descriptors to set
   up the whole font family.

See details in the user guide.

Best regards,
