Re: Why do you use .cmd rather than .bat?
Hi Jonathan, With recent Windows (Vista), IIUC there is no difference between .cmd and .bat; the engine remains the same in both cases: cmd.exe In the past, Win 9x family (and before) used only .bat, witch was threated with command.com The engine cmd.exe was introduced with NT family. On XP machines, it seems that both cmd.exe and command.com coexist, and invoking the former or the latter depends on ext. So there are some differences of available commands and behaviors between .cmd and .bat on such machines HTH, Le 05/12/2011 20:49, Jonathan Levinson a écrit : > Outlook mangled my script on send by removing what it thought were "extra > line breaks." > > I attach a zip of the script since our Exchange server won't let us send > ".cmd" files directly. > > Inside the zip is fop.cmd.

RE: Interrupt/cancel/abort a render
Craig, I agree with you, that is exactly how we process stuff here, drop a file in a folder and then the "fopengine" picks it up - processes and then drops the output into another folder for the original process to pick up (or time out) Kindest regards Theresa Forster Senior Software Developer -Original Message- From: Craig Ringer [mailto:cr...@postnewspapers.com.au] Sent: 06 December 2011 03:10 To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Cc: Alexios Giotis Subject: Re: Interrupt/cancel/abort a render IMO the best way to make it cancelable is to run fop out-of-process in a separate VM instance that you can kill using the standard OS methods. That's what I think I'll end up doing when I need to support cancellation. It's a bit of a pain and has some performance cost because you can't re-use the fop factory for multiple runs or benefit from some of fop's other caching. Perhaps more importantly it means you can't run under a standard SecurityManager since you need to be able to spawn new JVM instances. OTOH, it eliminates potential memory leaks / unwanted threadlocals / caches. -- Craig Ringer - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
Fails to build publican's user guide
Dear fop users, I come to you to forward a bug from the debian bug tracker [1]. fop crashes when building publican's user guide. You can find a sample attachment [2] to reproduce the problem.

Re: Fails to build publican's user guide
Sorry, I realise my report was quite imprecise. fop encounters a NullPointerException in InlineStackingLayoutManager.java:277 I have found several reports regarding this kind of error in fop bug tracker: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46386 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48765 So far I'm not sure if they are related.

Re: Fails to build publican's user guide
Hi Vincent, when you ask on this list, you should provide a shrinked XSL-FO that demonstrates the problem (the one on Debian buglist is about 2MB, witch is quite big). That said, I've found that using fo:inline within a fo:block with hyphenate="true" linefeed-treatment="preserve" throws an NPE. Fortunately, I can only reproduce it on FOP 0.95, while FOP 1.0 passes. So, you have 2 options: - either use FOP 1.0 - or replace such fo:inline with fo:wrapper, since from what I've seen they are used as properties carriers, not as related area properties (i.e. padding, border, background, etc.).

Re: SVG to AFP conversion
Just an update, I am abandoning this idea. It seems that the text inside the SVG is converted to GOCA (Vector Graphics), the quality is bad (at least for 3 viewers I tested), image rotation or transformation is not supported, it is an usual path and I have no feedback ...

Re: SVG to AFP conversion
Hi Alex, My apologies for the slow response, however, because SVG goes through Batik there are issues with fonts, as you already know. We are currently looking into the issue of AFP fonts within embedded SVG. I'll post back when we have some more information.

Re: MICR font problem in 1.0
An update. The problem with the MICR font was resolved by creating the font-metrics XML. Somehow this same font worked with FOP 0.95 but stopped working the usual way with FOP 1.0. Maybe the FOP developers can throw some light there, something to do with changes within the font handling mechanism? Thanks to Eric for responding to my email. Actually the hyphenation warning was not responsible for causing the MICR behavior, it was a different issue that did not interfere with the font issue.

The property is inherited, so you could put it on the element if you need to specify a character for the entire document. I have no idea if this restricted license on your font matters.

If you search the archives you will find that this error has been discussed in the past. There is no single solution but reading past discussions may help you fix the issue.
