FontFactory - dvb.fontindex - createFont and FontNotAvailableException

Question

Hi all,
so i have a problem, i'm trying to use FontFactory but i'm getting a FontNotAvailableException. So, i'm following mhp specification and i wrote a dvb.fontindex like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
     <!DOCTYPE fontdirectory PUBLIC "-//DVB//DTD Font Directory 1.0//EN" "http://www.dvb.org/mhp/dtd/fontdirectory-1-0.dtd">
     <fontdirectory>
          <font>
               <name>Tiresias</name>
               <fontformat>PFR</fontformat>
               <filename>tiresias.pfr</filename>
               <style>BOLD</style>
          </font>
          <font>
               <name>Amelia.pfr<name>
               <fontformat>PFR</fontformat>
               <filename>Amelia.pfr</filename>
          </font>
     </fontdirectory>
After i writed this coded:
          FontFactory oUseFontF = null;
          Font oUseFont = null;
          URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("Amelia.pfr");
          try {
               oUseFontF = new FontFactory(url);
          } catch (IOException e1) {
               g.drawString("a 1"+e1+" - ", 3, 16);
          } catch (FontFormatException e1) {
               g.drawString("a 2"+e1+" - ", 3, 16);
          try {
               oUseFont = oUseFontF.createFont("Amelia.pfr", java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 14);
          } catch (FontNotAvailableException e1) {
               g.drawString("er 3"+e1+" - ", 3, 16);
          } catch (FontFormatException e1) {
               g.drawString("er 4"+e1+" - ", 3, 16);
          } catch (IOException e1) {
               g.drawString("er 5"+e1+" - ", 3, 16);
               e1.printStackTrace();
                    g.setFont(oUseFont);
                    g.setColor(Color.red);
g.drawString("TEST", 0, 0);
After i putted my Amelia.pfr and dvb.fontindex in the root and put all on the box, but i'm getting this error.
Someone can help me? (My box is a i-can ADB)
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes that is what I ment.
The FontFormatException sounds interesting. This is thrown if the PFR file is corrupt in some way. The good news is that the STB has at least parsed the font index file, which is more then was happening when you got the FontNotAvailableException.
How did you create the PFR file?
