Re: Drastic Performance Improvement by dropping xerces and xalan

[Pascal Sancho]

Hi,

-xsl and -xml command line parameters are there for convenience.
FOP delegates XSLT transformation to Xalan before do its own job:
render pdf (or whatever supported format).

You can do the XSLT transformation by yourself, using whatever XSLT
processor you want, and feed FOP with resulting XSL-FO.
That can be done a batch processing.

So, Xalan dependencies (and associated Xerces) can be removed from FOP bundle.

Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output

[Normen]

Hi there,

iam testing with FOP 1.0 and tested with Arial and verdana True Type Fonts
and the POSTSCRIPT renderer; created Metrics for it and put it into the
configuration file like shown further down in this post, but the result is
non readable gibberish as shown in the image below.

(btw i have no problems with the PDF renderer...)

Any kind of hint/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output

[Pascal Sancho]

Sorry, fingers too big...

metric files are deprecated with recent FOP releases. You don't neet
them if you want to embed fonts, witch is the common way.
Note also that the config schema as widely changed since FOP 0.2.x;
there were many issues in the past when upgrading from 0.2.x.

you should also provide short XSL-FO that demonstrates the issue. You
will get quicker help from list.

Hey Pascal and others,

i have now uploaded the XML, XSL and the config file iam using (with several
blocks commented out).

I removed the mextric references in the config and deleted the metric xml
files of the TTFs Arial and Verdana but without success, still.

Hope someone can help me out, Thanks

Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output

[Glenn Adams]

Don't bother supplying XSL/XML input files. Preprocess them into an XSL-FO
file and then send it (and test with it), otherwise the XSL/XML files are
just noise.

Also, make sure you are using Unicode code points for the greek characters,
e.g., Ͱ through Ͽ. Also, don't bother with FOP 1.0, use FOP
1.1 or the current trunk builds.

Re: Greek Characters in Postscript Output

Hi,

Did you get any error or warning message?

Regarding the config file:
both base and font-base value should start with "file:///"

redirect stderr and stdout message

Hi,

I am using FOP 1.1 embedded. Is there a way to redirect or capture all the
fop messages (stderr and stdout messages)?

preserving a trailing space in inline

[Jason Harrop]

Hi, in the following FO, I'm losing the space between the word "page"
and page-number-citation-last.

  


  
Page No:  
  
  
  
 
of 
  
  

  

I've tried various permutations and combinations of
white-space-collapse, white-space-treatment, and even
white-space="pre", but to no avail.

Could someone please suggest what ought to work?

I'm using FOP 1.1.  Thanks .. Jason

Hi, Jason-

I did something very similar using FOP 1.0 to generate PDF files. The 
XSL-FO I used looked like this:



Page  of



The biggest difference I see is that I didn't use any inline objects.

Re: preserving a trailing space in inline

[Jason Harrop]

Hi Terence,  thanks, it's good to know the simple FO works fine!

Its non trivial for me to get rid of the inline elements, although I
could get rid of the nested ones if it is these which are causing the
problem.

I'll look into that, but it would still be useful to get confirmation
as to which of the whitespace attributes I should be using.

thanks .. Jason

Hi, Jason-

Both fo:page-number and fo:page-number-citation-last are documented to 
support padding so you might look into that if you can't determine why 
the white space is collapsing.


Good luck!

RE: preserving a trailing space in inline

[Manuel Mall]

You other option might be to use a non breaking space ( ).

Also your original description is a bit confusing as you said: 

" I'm losing the space between the word "page" and page-number-citation-last."

According to your fo snippet there is no word "page" it looks more like

Page No:  of 

So you should be able to clearly say where the 'space is lost'.
