A

K3.xml is the font metrics file for displaying barcode images. The K3.xml provided in FOP is outdated. But we can regenerate it using the fop.jar:

fyicenter> cd \local\fop-2.x\fop

fyicenter> copy examples\fo\advanced\K3.xml 
   examples\fo\advanced\K3-original.xml

fyicenter> set FOP_PATH=\local\fop-2.2\fop

fyicenter> java -cp %FOP_PATH%\build\fop.jar;
   %FOP_PATH%\lib\xercesImpl-2.9.1.jar;
   %FOP_PATH%\lib\xalan-2.7.2.jar;
