Problem with font-weight 'bold' for custom font

The reason for the question is that (some) word processors can generate bold fonts from normal fonts by rendering the same glyph multiple times with a slight offset. FOP does not do that. It embeds the font unchanged and without any additional rendering instructions into the PDF (assuming you generate PDF).

linefeed-treatment=preserve and orphans/windows do not work as expected
Hi Fop-users! I believe this is a bug (perhaps I should better post it to fop-dev?). Personally, I do not need this feature, I tend to avoid linefeed-treatment altogether, I consider them evil ;) The orphans and windows control is ignored completely when linefeed-treatment is set to preserve, even the default setting of 2 is ignored, leaving one line on the next page instead of the expected two. To illustrate this behavior, here's a little 2inch square page: fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=test-page-master page-width=2in page-height=2in fo:region-body margin=0.35in/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=test-page-master fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block widows=2 orphans=2 linefeed-treatment=preserveNeque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit.../fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root The last line, adipisci velit... is placed on its own on the next page.

Personally, I do not need this feature, I tend to avoid linefeed-treatment altogether, I consider them evil ;) It depends... if you ever find yourself in a position where you need to include blocks of source-code in your documents, you'll be very happy such a feature exists. :) Another plus, as I recently indicated in another post: if your document contains a hundred fo:blocks consisting of a single word, merging all the blocks and using preserved linefeeds between the words is much better for the memory footprint than using separate blocks. This is especially true when one uses empty blocks to emulate a newline. The orphans and windows control is ignored completely when linefeed-treatment is set to preserve, even the default setting of 2 is ignored, leaving one line on the next page instead of the expected two. To illustrate this behavior, here's a little 2inch square page: That seems to be a bug indeed. Best reported through Bugzilla... Anyway, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Re: fop 0.20.5 and chinese pdf
I guess you still have the problem that your fonts are not correctly embedded. For convenience, you can throw the TTFs and XML font files in the same folder where you have your userconfig.xml file. Also, make sure that the paths to all the font files in your userconfig file are correct! Did you try to run FOP from the command line? Maybe that helps you to figure out what the problem actually is. Well, 23 MB sound a bit much, on the other hand, version 0.20.5 and its predecessors are not famous for effective PDF compression. Since you want to publish your documents using Cocoon, I suppose you want them on-the-fly, with no postprocessing. Saving the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat will definitely let off air, but maybe this is not an option.

page numbering in fo/pdf output (FOP 0.93)
Hello everybody, I've noticed that you can change page numbering in a PDF in the following way: In out PDF generated with FOP (from docbook of course) the page number displayer in adobe reader looks like this: 1 of 100 for page 1. Even though page 1 is numbered I (roman) due to this in our document the first page numbered Arabic is 20 of 100 Though the page number _on_ the page is 1. But you can make it look like this: II (2 of 100) And 1 (20 if 100) Is this possible in docbook/fop? Thanks, Hinrich
