Re: Character-by-character font selection strategy
Dongsheng, looks like you'll have to wait for proper character selection to be implemented - this should solve your problems. For now you could try to add a space between your characters and the rest of the word, or use a full unicode font such as DejaVu. Max Dongsheng Song schrieb: Did you mean this example[1] ?

Re: Character-by-character font selection strategy
The wiki[2] same as web[1] for 'Font Selection Strategies'. But 'Word-by-Word' can't meet my case. For string '#xB2E2;#xCAD4;teststring', if I specify font-family=Times, SimSun, FOP paint using Times characters, not SimSun, so I got missing glyphs. I's there a way treat a single Chinese char(e.g. '#xB2E2') as a word ?

Re: Character-by-character font selection strategy
Dear Fop-Devs, I've started some work on that in a patch I've submitted a while ago (which needs cleanup - lots of cleanup) http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39422 I've also implemented character-by-character font selection for JEuclid, which may serve as a reference. Please look at: http://jeuclid.sourceforge.net/jeuclid-core/xref/net/sourceforge/jeuclid/elements/support/text/StringUtil.html#102 http://jeuclid.sourceforge.net/jeuclid-core/xref/net/sourceforge/jeuclid/elements/support/attributes/MathVariant.html#194 I'll add all three links to the wiki. Of course the algorithms would have to be modified to work with fop's font system instead of AWTs. I'd be very willing to test / enhance a patch, because I really need this feature (hence my original patch). One quick wish while you're at it: AFAIK FOP still does not even print a warning when it replaces a character with the # sign. Please fix this!

Character-by-character font selection strategy
I see there was a recent thread on fop-user called Mixing Languages and Unicode. I have the same problem. The PDFs that I create with FOP could potentially contain any mix of languages and no one font will support them all. I do not believe it is practical to try to implement a character-by- character font selection strategy in XSLT, even if I could figure out how to do it. Nor do I believe it is practical to try to create some custom font that supports all languages and embed that in all my PDFs. So my question is, what would it take to implement support for the font-selection-strategy property? Has anyone looked at this or taken a crack at it? Is there any chance that it might be implemented in the foreseeable future? Thanks, Loran Kary

Nor do I believe it is practical to try to create some custom font that supports all languages and embed that in all my PDFs. I agree. Implementing something like this in XSLT is indeed a complete waste here. As for custom fonts supporting all possible Unicode-characters, they tend to blow up the resulting PDF's size when embedded... Font-selection is precisely why --I think-- the Recommendation states that in the first step of formatting, all 'characters are converted in character FOs' (in 1.1.2 Formatting). One could even argue that FOP is not compliant to the Rec here, as it treats contiguous blocks of text in the source XML internally as one character array. So my question is, what would it take to implement support for the font-selection-strategy property? Now, /there/ is a GOOD question to ask first! 8-) Always make /us/ think about that first, before nagging about possible plans to implement. Nice strategy. I like your style. :-) Come to think of it, a little understanding of FOP's internals and the implied Java-knowledge should be enough. No need to touch the layoutengine for this, if I judge correctly. We could implement this at the point where the FOText instances are processed, since the font- family info is already available at that point (and hence, there is the possibility to check for codepoints that have no glyph). We could do a substitution to character FO's for codepoints outside the default font's mapping... Cheers Andreas
