Usage of Tables in Apache FOP

[Sireesha Boddapati]

Hi Team,

We have different page-sets with different widths of region-body. The page
content is dynamic and it will have lots of tables with dynamic number of
columns.

So, when the table has more number of columns and has cell data with long
text with no spaces, the text is getting overlapped with next cell.


Is there any way to avoid this?

Thanks
Sireesha

by default, the used subset will be be embedded in the PDF, so it does not
have to be present (externally) when rendering the PDF

RE: FOP alignment problem between two font type

[gkaplan]

I tried to use Arial Unicode MS but FOP complains that it is not found. I’m 
assuming it is not one of the built-in fonts.

1.   Do I need to configure FOP to use a custom font and then include it 
somewhere?

2.   If I do use a custom font, will it have to reside on everyone else’s 
machine, or will it reside inside the PDF so that it renders properly 
everywhere else?

Thanks

Re: FOP alignment problem between two font type

[gkaplan]

I am using XSL to create the FOP markup, so it is not possible for me to
easily wrap special characters in their own inline block. I am using the
greater-than-or-equals ≥ symbol which is only available in the Symbol font.
The rest of the document is in sans-serif. 

What's odd is that any numbers subsequent to the ≥ symbol are also in the
Symbol font.

My markup includes an attribute-set as follows:



sans-serif, 
Symbol


But when the PDF is generated, the baseline (or some other attribute) of the
≥ symbol is much lower. 

Is there really no way to fix this? I've tried tinkering with setting
baselines, etc. but nothing fixes this. Also, as the previous solution
mentions, I don't know of any fonts that include this symbol as well as the
full alphabet.

Thanks in advance for any help.
