[news.eclipse.birt] PDF emitter: load/use fonts from relative path or fr

[boa@xxxxxxxxxxx (FoxyBOA)]

Hi all!

I use BIRT since early days and still have riddles regarding PDF emitter. 

Short story:
Can I configure fontsConfig.xml to load fonts from relative path or from 
jars?

Long story:
We are using FOP for generating PDF in our web application as well as 
BIRT. It will be nice to share fonts between libraries. Unfortunately, I 
can't find a way how to do it with BIRT 2.3.1

The root of evil is fontsConfig.xml
If I configure it like shown below it forks fine:
<font-paths>
<path path="fonts"/>
</font-paths>

But path doesn't allow me using neither relative paths not classpath (or I 
can't find an appropriate way how to configure it).
Neither config1 nor config2 works.

Config1:
<font-paths>
<path path="../fonts"/>
</font-paths>

Config2:
<font-paths>
<path path="classpath:fonts"/>
</font-paths>

Any thoughts will be appreciated.
