I suspect you have a bad second byte of a 2-byte UTF-8 sequence on line 1 of name.xml. (-: This is not a FOP question; the problem is happening when the XML parser tries to read your input XML file. I suspect that the editor you used to edit the XML file used ISO 8859-7 instead of UTF-8, but that you did not give an appropriate encoding declaration. The easiest way to avoid these problems is to instruct your editor to always save as UTF-8, which is one of the default encodings for XML, and needs no declaration. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > “I like being free, and that makes me an idiot, I suppose.” — Stan Rogers, “The Idiot” GnuPG Fingerprint: C6E4 E2A9 C9F8 71AC 9724 CAA3 19F8 6677 0077 C319 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
