Hi all, I modified 0.20.5 release candidate 1. This happened several months ago and and I mentioned it here at that time. To create patches against current content of maintenance branch I will have to do do a lot of updates. Is it worth to do the effort with code that might not get released? It seems more logical to integrate my work in trunk code. Last time I compiled it (several months ago) I couldn't use it because font embedding wasn't complete. If font handling works now in HEAD, I could start migrating my modifications in a few weeks. Another option might be to put the BiDi fop.jar I made in my company's web site as a free download. I think I can handle all permissions if there are enough interested parties. It is my intention to provide a hope for FOP users: BiDi support is possible. Regards, Rodolfo -- Rodolfo M.

Introduction Every Chinese, young and old, within and outside China, knows the classical language rendering of the exploits of Xuan Zang, the pious Tang dynasty monk and his three storybook disciples: the indestructible Monkey King, the Great Sage; Brother Pig, the Eight Denials (of Buddhism) and Sand Monk, the third disciple. In real life, Xuan Zang was a truly remarkable Buddhist monk. He travelled on land on the way through hostile and uncharted territory to the birthplace of Buddha in the Indian sub-continent and returned to Changâan (modern day Xiâan) with a set of Buddhist sutras. The voluminous set of sutras was written in the extremely difficult Sanskrit language. Together with his doyens of pupils, he completed the translation of some 75 volumes of the sutras into the equally difficult Chinese languages The 10 Stages Buddhist sutras translated into Chinese prior the Tang dynasty were difficult to comprehend because the first translators were Buddhist monks of non-Han Chinese origin. It took China several hundred years to bring forth a selection of Buddhist monks who could master both the Sanskrit language as well as the complex Buddhism doctrines, which were written in Sanskrit. And Xuan Zang was recognised as foremost among them. He was appointed chief of the Tang dynasty imperial translation centre. It was he who designed and implemented a translation workflow that would guarantee the quality of the final product. The process detailed below is well worth adopting by any modern day translation team. Stage 1 Master translator and Buddhism expert to jointly study and interpret the original text written in Sanskrit. It could involve one or more persons. Stage 2 All members of the translation team to attend a recital of the text in question by the Master translator. The purpose is to verify the accuracy of the interpretation undertaken in Stage 1. A recital is necessary because the scriptures were originally written for recitation. Stage 3 A team of junior translators produces the first Chinese draft of the Sanskrit text. The draft is a combination of transliteration of Sanskrit terms and standard Chinese. Stage 4 Production of a complete Chinese version by a senior native Chinese Buddhist monk trained to undertake scripture translation. This is the most important stage in the entire process and it must be undertaken by a monk with an in-depth knowledge of Chinese culture and language. Stage 5 Refinement of sentence structure of the complete Chinese version. This is a necessary stage because of the vast linguistic differences between the source and target language. Stage 6 Reverse translation of the Chinese version into Sanskrit in order to verify the accuracy of the interpretation of the original text. Mistakes in interpretation are to be promptly rectified in the Chinese version. Stage 7 Review of the verified Chinese version to identify errors in character usage, and refinement of linguistic expressions to improve readability. Stage 8 Further polishing to improve the literary beauty of the language and adding colours to the otherwise monotonous writings. Stage 9 Verification of the audio quality by reciting the translation aloud. The audio effect is important because scriptures are meant for preaching to an audience. Stage 10 Final check by the Master Translator. Conclusion Xuan Zang did a great job in the translation of the Buddhist sutras. He was able to excel not only was he an outstanding linguist but also he was wholeheartedly committed to the task as a devote

Maybe the following code can help:

options = new Options(userConfigFile);
output = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
driver = new Driver(new InputSource(temporary), output);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
try {
driver.run();
FormattingResults result = driver.getResults();
screenLog.append("Result:" + result.getPageCount() + " pages

result = null;
output.close();
} catch (IOException el) {
screenLog.append(el.getLocalizedMessage());
} catch (FOPException el) {
screenLog.append(el.getLocalizedMessage());
}
You have to add try/catch blocks and define your own variables.
