Apologies!</div><div><br></div><div>What I would like to do is this:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Keep the standard desktop RenderX XEP installation, including the standard xep.xml</div><div><br></div><div>2. Add a second, partial, xep.xml in the DITA Toolkit custom PDF transform that just contains custom font information.</div><div><br></div><div>This would imply two <fonts/> major elements, one in each xep.xml.</div><div><br></div><div>So, firstly, is it possible to do this? Would the information in the second xep.xml add to the first, or override it?</div><div><br></div><div>Secondly, what is the easiest mechanism to achieve this? I first thought of catalog.xml, but I'm sure it would be easier with an import or include statement at the start of the second xep.xml.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your patience and assistance.</div><div><br></div><div>David</div><div><br><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: LucidaGrande;
