[bug?] Mangled text with cross references
I think I've hit another bug with overlapping text and strange whitespace in cross reference text. Again the xsl customisations, fo and pdf are at: http://mdke.org/tmp/fop/ There are plenty of examples, but picking one at random, see the bottom of page 26 of that pdf file. Is this a well known bug (if it is a bug)? Can I work around it? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: some footnotes not being displayed
Jeremias Maerki dev at jeremias-maerki.ch writes: Confirmed. Seems to be a bug. Unfortunately, I won't have time immediately to have a closer look. Ok, thanks for letting me know. Is there a bug tracking system of some kind? If your document could be cut down to the minimum so the disappearing footnote can still be reproduced, that'd be great. That should be quite easy - do you know what the time frame might be for fixing this? If it is potentially quite quick, then I'll make providing a cut down document a priority. Otherwise, I'll concentrate on working round by including the links in the main text rather than in the footnotes, because we need the PDFs to be released in about a week. After that I will have more time to sit down and provide as much debugging help as I can. Matt - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
some footnotes not being displayed
Dear all, Here I am again with another question. I'm using fop 1.93beta, with a snapshot of the docbook-xsl stylesheets. Everything is working quite well, except that I am including xrefs as footnotes, and some footnotes do not appear at all. I can't really see why, because most of them work well. Can anyone give me any help? The pdf, fo file and xsl customisations are all to be found here: http://mdke.org/tmp/fop An example of a footnote which does not appear is at page 9 of the file. If you go forward to page 11 of the file, you'll see some which work. I get some warnings when building, but I don't know if they are related or not: http://fop.pastebin.com/728145 Thanks for any help you can give me!

Hi all, and sorry to bother yet again. Fop is now working nicely on my home computer. Then I tried to run it on another pc, with basically the same setup on the same files, with the same version of java installed, and I get this error: http://fop.pastebin.com/715978 Any ideas?

However fop crashed with a message like this: Exception in thread main java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space I'm pretty unlucky with fop! Concerning the noisy output I'd recommend you take a closer look at the warning messages. You'll find they are quite informative. There are a lot of table-rows with height=14pt in your FO file. 14pt is too little for a 12pt font with line-height=1.2 (the default). Either remove the height property or adjust it to at least 14.4pt (=12 * 1.2). Yeah I read the messages and saw an explanation of it on the fop wiki. But at the moment I don't know how to modify the xsl I'm using to get rid of this, I'll look into it, and possibly ask another mailing list how to do this.

Asian fonts in pdfs

1. Check the font if it contains Korean characters
I don't really understand much about fonts, but on my system, if I view the fo
file in an editor and set my editor to display serif fonts, all the korean
characters appear fine.
2. Check your FOP configuration file.
I'm not using one.
Probably you should also give FOP 0.92.x a try.
Probably, but so far I haven't managed to get it to work with my stylesheets,
and I haven't got much time to rewrite them at the moment. Hopefully there is an
easy way to make fop 0.20-5 work.

Re: embedding fonts
Jeremias Maerki dev at jeremias-maerki.ch writes: Embedding means that the font is included in the PDF file. Otherwise, the font is only referenced and is required to be present on the viewer or printer. If it's not present on the receiving side, the document can't print correctly. If you want to embed all fonts, you have to create font metric files using PFMReader or TTFReader for each one and create the correct font triples in the configuration file. As soon as you specify a embed-file attribute (embed-url in 0.91 and later), the font will be embedded in the generated file. ATM, there is no easy way. I may get easier later this year when we have an improved font subsystem but ATM, it's a lot of manual work. Thanks for this explanation! I will try and do this, although the creating font metric files bit sounds rather difficult. I'll give it my best shot! If that doesn't help you on your way, please tell us exactly what on the fonts.html page is unclear to you. That's fine: it makes sense now. I just wondered whether it was possible to do it automatically for all fonts used by fop when creating the pdf. No problem!
