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

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!
