Re: Distributing jimi.jar
I think this is overdue! Most developer, like me, do not know a lot about the different Licences out in the wild. There must be a reliable Homepage were the Apache Project can build up on his own definition, about what is allowed and what is not. This should include of course information for the user of fop, in which way he is allowed to use and redistribute the software. Isn't the jai.jar (which would give fop great functionality!) not redistributet for the same reason? Best Regards Markus Schäffler > Did you know that the Cocoon guys have jimi.jar in their CVS?

Background information about using unicode characters
Hi, I'm using fop 0.20.4 with jdk 1.4 and would like to get some background information about how fop embedds unicode character from a true type font which is not one of the 14 PDF Standard Fonts. I used "Arial Unicode Ms.ttf" to embed some asien characters into an pdf document. Based on the information from the fop homepage I assume that only the needed character, its encoding and the glyph is embedded into the pdf file to enable the Acrobat Reader to render the character correctly. Is that correct, or are more information embedded like the whole codepage in which the charater is in? Or which information are exactly embedded into the pdf file? Can I rely on the assumption that the pdf file with the embedded font will be displayed correctly independingly on the operating system and the available fonts on which ever computer the pdf file is trying to be viewed? Is it possible to create a PDF file with FOP which just describes a character by its unicode representation and the corresponding glyph to display the character is loaded from one of the available fonts from the computer where the pdf file is viewed? That would be an interesting an valueable feature instead of embedding the font file. Thanks a lot for any information to clarify understanding!

fop documentation
Hi FOP-Developer, I'm trying to get familar with the fop implementation (0.20.4). Especially with the algorithm to calculate the width and height needed to display text. Is their any more documentation (such as UML diagrams or further describtions wich class/package is doing what and how) for fop then the possibility to build the javadoc api for fop. -- Thanks Markus Schäffler -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to Call FOP thro Java Application?
I have t work on that too. If you have an example of a standalone application which calls fop please post the code. Thanks a lot!
