in my simple docbook document, i've added a couple figures, one with a JPG file (renders nicely), one with a PNG file (does not render at all). both show up in the .fo file as a fo:external-graphic, so i know *that* part of it is correct. from what i read in the FOP FAQ, PNG support is provided by either JIMI or JAI. in fact, i have both installed and their jar files on my java CLASSPATH.
the FAQ graphics entry for JIMI is a bit confusing, since it suggests that i should install the JimiProClasses.zip file (actually, i'm using the jar file) in the directory xml-fop/lib/jimi-1.0.jar. why is it not sufficient to put the Jimi jar file on my CLASSPATH? and what's with the xml-fop directory? where is *that* supposed to be? again, both the jimi and jai jar files are on my classpath. shouldn't that be sufficient? in addition, my FOP output contains: ... snip ...
