Betty:
You must have a pathing problem. Here is what I did:
Put the two font files you sent me in C:\Program Files
(x86)\RenderX\XEP\fonts which is the installed directory for the XEP I am
running.
I added this to my xep.xml:
<font-group label="BettyHarvey" embed="false" subset="true" initial
encoding="standard">
<font-family name="SansStone">
<font><font-data afm="SansStone.afm" pfb="SansStone.pfb"/></font>
</font-family>
</font-group>
This is inside the <fonts> tag which has a base of "fonts/" so that the
relative paths above are resolved from that directory.
Ran this FO:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="all-pages">
<fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body" margin="0.7in"
column-gap="0.25in" border="0.25pt solid gray" padding="6pt"/>
<fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before" extent="0.7in"
display-align="after" padding="6pt 0.7in"/>
<fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after" extent="0.7in"
display-align="before" padding="6pt 0.7in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="all-pages">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block font-family="SansStone">This is text in SansStone
font</fo:block>
</fo:flow></fo:page-sequence></fo:root>
Worked perfectly.
PDF attached.
Check your paths or send me the xep.xml you have --- also be sure that you
are not editing one installation of XEP and have multiple on the machine
(happens to me a lot). Like you are running XEPWin and editing the xep.xml
inside of a different directory? XEPWin has its own install as a child
folder to XEPWin.
