[xep-support] Problem embedding Adobe OpenType Fonts, need help please.

[Bennett Smith]

Hello, 

I have the XEP 3.6.3 client and am trying to follow the steps to
configure support for some additional Adobe OpenType fonts I have.  The
fonts are part of the "Adobe Type Basics OpenType Ed." collection.
Following the instructions in the manual I added some additional lines
to the fonts.xml file.  Here is an example of the additional font lines
I have added: 

<font name="AGaramondPro-Regular" 
    ttf="C:/PSFONTS/AGaramondPro-Regular.otf" 
    adobe-encoding="UniCNS-UCS2-H" 
    adobe-ordering="CNS1" 
    adobe-supplement="1" 
    embed="true"> 
  <alias name="AGaramondPro"/> 
</font>    

When I convert a .fo file to .pdf the conversion seems to be working and
I get a pdf that mentions the new font.  However, I also get an error
message(or warning, not sure which) from XEP stating that the font
cannot be embedded.  When I look at the document properties in Acrobat
it shows that the fonts have been substituted with some other font
instead of the one I am expecting. 

I do not understand why XEP cannot embed the font properly.  Just to
make sure the font can be embedded I created a small FrameMaker document
that uses the font and then generated a PDF file from it using Acrobat
Professional.  When I did this it successfully embedded the font in the
PDF without any warning. 

One area where I'm a bit confused is with the three adobe- attributes in
the <font> element.  How can I determine what these should be set to for
my fonts?  Also, what is the list of possible values for these
attributes? 

Many thanks.
