Re: Win-Ansi font embedding follow-up
i have played around a bit. when converting TTF fonts with "-enc ansi" i get correct font-names in pdf-document. without that, i always to something like "1E344MyFontName" no i get "MyFontName". When i now run (linux) fop with "-nocopy -noedit -o secret" the pdf-file can be opened but my fonts are replaced by an adobe default font. not the result wanted, but much better than getting "..." in place of the characters... i now use CryptoPDF a perl library, which encrypt the pdf document without any problem. it was the only tool i found, which will work as a command-line tool. ok, it's not opensource, but the price with 30$ is ok for me. markus Jeremias Maerki wrote: The code has grown.

Re: Difference PDF and PostScript: Special characters
The Euro sign is not so old. It was hacked in a few years ago. Whether you can produce the Euro sign depends on the font having the Euro glyph available. If you generate a PostScript file from fonts.fo in FOP 0.20.5's examples/fo/basic directory I get the Euro sign when I view it inside a recent GhostView (no userconfig.xml used). But the same PostScript file may not print correctly on an older PostScript printer when using a Helvetica font, for example, and when you don't embed fonts.

Re: SV: Text problem
In my experience, for best results, you'll want the latest JVM available for your platform. At a minimum, Sun Java 1.4.0_b09 or IBM Java 1.3+ to help with the AWT font metrics problems, although problems still exist even with those.

Re: What XSLT and XSL-FO editor do you use?
Thank you for this (IMHO) objective and good review of the style sheet designers currently available. I think this will be a good reference for people to see. If there are no objections (and time permitting!), I may even consider posting this and other reviews on the FOP web site (after fixing a couple of minor typos) in the appropriate Resources section--giving full credit to its author(s), of course! Web Maestro Clay On Jun 21, 2004, at 9:33 AM, Rob Stote wrote: Hello all: I have tried the following editors: 1) Altova: I found this editor the least user friendly of the bunch. It does not offer a true WYSIWYG environment. Once you get your head around how to actually works, you can develop stylesheet with it. Be prepared to work at it though. I was a little concerned with the use of the "for-each" in the stylesheet it produced. (please note: I have yet to try Altova latest release, stylevision. My comments are in reference to the stylesheet editor that came bundled with XMLSpy 2003 Enterprise Edition). I could create standards compliant XSL stylesheet and deploy them with out any issues. The stylesheet you produce does not contain any proprietary information/tags. 2)Inventive Designers Scriptura: Nice WYSIWYG editor, written in java, so platform independent. Quite intuitive and easy to use. Currently (ver 3.0) Creates proprietary stylesheets that can only really be used in their formatting objects processor. The issue is they offer all kinds of bells and whistles within the editing which can prove to be extremely handy. The issues is you can not really use the designed stylesheet with FOP. They are about 2 versions behind on the xalan they use, consequently the name space references...especially when it comes to java get royally screwed up when you try and use the stylesheet in FOP. The motto here is you have to design...test... see what breaks, redesign...test...see what breaks, redesign...test...see what breaks... Then go in and manually change the name space declarations. Get the point. 3)Antenna House XSLTemplate Designer Of the XSLFormatter fame, Antenna house has decided to offer it's clients a designer. One problem The "stylesheet" produced will only work with AH's XSLFormatter... You can not export the stylesheet to be used with other formatters. Try as I might, my conversation proved fruitless with them, I tried to point out that it might be important to developers to have the option to deploy the stylesheet on a machine running a formatter other than XSLFormatter... No dice So for the purposes of this forum.. They are out. 4)XSLFast Nice WYSIWYG editor, written in java, so platform independent (sound familiar). XSLFast has fixed some of the annoyances they had in their earlier versions... They are the only editor on the market, as far as I can tell, that does not have an agenda of promoting a particular formatting engine (Scriptura, or antenna house). I liked using it. It is written in swing, so it can be a little sluggish in responding at times. I was able to develop a stylesheet and deploy it to my application using FOP with out any compatibility issues. It has some nice touches, such as offering a call out to an external stylesheet. The table tool is still a little counter intuitive, but over all a step forward for them. 5)by hand baby. The reality is I use oXygen 4.0, my Ken Holman books, Zvon, and a whole lot of blood and sweat. I try an approach the stylesheet development the same way I approach my java programming.

RE: Error in output to PostScript
Thanks, Problem solved. I removed the check from PSStream.java. I do wonder why this check was in the code. Can this be left out in a future release ?

My fault. You hit a bug. This happens in org.apache.fop.render.ps.PSStream.java. I think I read somewhere that a single line of PostScript code shouldn't contain more than 256 characters. That's probably why I wrote that check. But unfortunately, I can't find the reference anymore. A work-around is to fetch the FOP 0.20.5 sources, remove the check from PSStream.java and recompile the whole thing. If your PostScript RIP doesn't choke on lines longer than 256 characters you've won. If that doesn't work, we need to find out why this happened. In this case you'd have to send an XSL-FO document that reproduces the bug. One immediate way to narrow down the search: Use -d on the FOP command line and send the stacktrace. But it probably won't be enough.
