AFAIK, none of the open-source FO implementations handle either the bidi issue or the ligature issue correctly. To handle the ligatures properly requires (I think) the use of the OpenType GPOS tables. The commercial implementations are your best bet right now. I think that RenderX handles the bidi issue, but not the ligature issue correctly. I don't know about Antenna House, but you might check with them as well: http://xml.apache.org/fop/resources.html#products-other Victor Mote --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
