RE: FOP With Hebrew
As far as I know, FOP does not support bidi languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. Please refer to http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html and look for attributes such as writing-mode. You will see that this attribute is not supportes, thus allowing only for left-to-right and top-to-bottom modes. Alas, I don't know any remedy, perhaps somebody else has found a workaround.

Oktober 2003 13:48 To: FOP Users Subject: FOP With Hebrew I tried to convert the Attached DocBook document to PDF using FOP and the Hebrew came in reverse. Is it a problem of FOP or of DocBook. (the XSL-FO is also attached) If it is a problem with FOP, when is it planned to be resolved and what can I do to help?

Re: FOP With Hebrew
This is *great* news (although I currently don't have use for it). As always, the maintenance version (0.20.5) is probably the most widely used, but it is the DEV version (trunk--1.0Dev) which is most worthy of the addition. Rodolfo M.

Glad to hear your company is interested in contributing to the Open Source movement... Is your company aware that they may be entitled to tax benefits for their/your donation? It would be great if someone tells me how/when/where to contribute my code. fop-dev@xml.apache.org is a good place to start! ;-p - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will need to generate difference reports for each file that you changed. If you are in windows you can do this using a tool named WinCVS, available from http://www.wincvs.org/ Is it the maintainence code that you changed? If so you will need to use WinCVS to run a difference report using the tag: (tag is not needed for HEAD or TRUNK code) fop-0_20_2-maintain You must then submit your difference reports onto the Patch queue. This basically means submitting a bug to bugzilla with [PATCH] as the start of the summary. Please note, that it is unlikely that there will be another release from the maintenance branch, as the developers are working on the trunk code. Chris _ On the move?

It's not so simple questions guys. We've discussed the question on fop-dev a year ago and decided not to commit BIDI patch to maintenance branch. And what for implementation for FOP 1.0dev, I have started wiki page - http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?FOPWritingModesAndBidiDesign but it's unfinished and at the moment nobody seems to be working on this subject :( -- Oleg Tkachenko http://www.tkachenko.com/blog Multiconn Technologies, Israel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please note, that it is unlikely that there will be another release from the maintenance branch, as the developers are working on the trunk code. 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. Raya [EMAIL PROTECTED] Heartsome Holdings Pte.
