Hussein Shafie commented on FOP-2996:
-------------------------------------
Thank you for pointing me to FOP-2426.
It indeed works (that is, arabic letters are joined) when, in attached
"sample2_ar.fo", I replace language="ar" by language="dflt" on the
fo:page-sequence.
However I still don't understand why arabic letters are *not joined* when
1) language="ar" or language="ara" is found on the fo:root
AND
2) language="ar" or language="ara" is found on the fo:page-sequence
In a nutshell, unlike what happens in the FOP-2426 sample ".fo", it's
"{_}arabic everywhere{_}" in attached "sample2_ar.fo", yet it does not work.
Please do not close this bug report. IMHO, the author of FOP-2426 simply made a
mistake, while in the case of "my" FOP-2996, there is really a bug (or at least
a FOP feature really not practical to use).
Thank you for your help. Thank you for developing FOP.
