This is a great subject. I recently struggled quite a bit with this problem.

RTF2FO and FO to FOP gave me loads of problems with whitespaces. I am ready
to give up.

Re: Xerces compatibility question

2002-04-01 Thread Peter B. West
If the suggestion below works, it's not compatible with the spec, which 
allows two variants of "content-type", e.g.,

content-type="content-type:xml/svg"
or
content-type="namespace-prefix:svg"
(See 7.28.1) We can't even blame CSS for this one.

Check again.
FOP 0.20.3 catched up with a last minute change in the
spec, the page master is referenced by the attribute
"master-reference" rather than "master-name". If you
are actually using "master-reference" for referencing
the page master, check for misspellings and whether
you really defined the referenced page master.

FO-API with RTF-Import

2002-04-01 Thread Sascha Schmidt








Hello,

 

If you are looking for a
Java-API that helps you generating formatting objects and imports from Rich
Text Format visit us www.dig-dreams.de.
There you can download an evaluation version of jFO. 

jFO can be used to create
(small - middle) reports / documents, where creating XML and XSL is too
expensive. 

The RTF-importer of jFO
allows you filling rtf-fields with user-datas (which can be strings,
fo:inline-elements or xsl-nodes). So you can design templates / forms with an
RTF-Editor and jFO fills them during import.

 

 

Kind regards,

Sascha Schmidt.

The formatting process is driven through the transformation.
You need at least FOP 0.20.2, in 0.20.1 the setup was a bit
more complicated.

Re: font-family and font names list

Oleg 

My understanding is that the list of fonts are iterated through until
an existing font is found. Preferred fonts are put first. 

I don't know how FOP locates fonts or if it can be given some clues.

Try putting sans-serif at the end

... font-family="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif" 

then try putting it at the beginning

... font-family=" sans-serif, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva" 

then try

... font-family=" sans-serif" 

I'd be interested in the results you get.

Is it a bug/unsupported feature or am I wrong with something here ?
I remember a post which basically said that font lists
are a last minute addendum to XSLFO imposed for CSS
compatibility. I *hate* CSS for the havoc it wrecked on
other otherwise quite sensible standards. The font list
attribute introduces another language with a rather
nontrivial grammar, which is incidentally incompatible
with the expression language used for other properties.
The parser in fop/expr doesn't obviously handle it, and
i didn't find evidence that the font-family attribute is
handled by another parser, the foproperties.xml declares this:
  
font-family
true
String
sans-serif
  
So my guess is the feature is not implemented. :-(
