[xep-support] Re: Trouble getting AFM font installed

Betty, send me AFM and matching PFB for just one of the fonts, your xep.xml
file and let me test.

Something is not right in config because this error is not a corrupt file,
it means XEP cannot find the file or the family named SansStone

[warning] could not find any font family matching "SansStone"; replaced by
Helvetica

The files are in the font directory. The original filename was SS______.AFM
and I was having problems so renamed the .afm and .pfb files.

I have tried putting the full path in afm and pfb attributes:

 <font-family name="SansStone">
        <font><font-data afm="C:\XEP\fonts\SansStone.afm"
pfb="C:\XEP\fonts\SansStone.pfb"/></font>
        <font weight="bold"><font-data
afm="C:\XEP\fonts\SansStone-Bold.afm"
pfb="C:\XEP\fonts\SansStone-Bold.pfb"/></font>
        <font style="italic"><font-data
afm="C:\XEP\fonts\SansStone-Italic.afm"
pfb="C:\XEP\fonts\SansStone-Italic.pfb"/></font>
        <font weight="bold" style="italic"><font-data
afm="C:\XEP\fonts\SansStone-BoldItalic.afm"
pfb="C:\XEP\fonts\SansStone-BoldItalic.pfb"/></font>
      </font-family>

I also thought maybe the font files were corrupted but they installed in
Windows fine.

The name is correct because this is the error that XEP gives:

  [warning] could not find any font family matching "SansStone"; replaced by
Helvetica

I am baffled!
