user should not force font changes within the document. At same time, I have similar problem of Chris Jones > When I'm writing a document in English comprising quotes from say > Russian and ancient Greek, I need to know how I can switch to a quality > Russian font and then back to my standard English font, and then switch > again to a nice Greek font. My documents are mainly in English but full of Chinese words. On top of this, I want to use "fop" as print formatter in place of "dblatex". "fop" is still not fully compliant with XLS-FO standard. Compliance page reports http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-font-family "font-family lists are allowed but glyph based font selection is not supported". "fop" does not search the glyph in the "font-family" list, but just use the glyphs within the first font in the list. I have to *globally* select only one font for the whole document body. Even harder to mix English and Chinese text. Below the solution I'm using. Thanks to Lex for pointing the right direction. Best Regards, Antonio Borneo I use command: a2x -f pdf --fop --xsl-file=my_fo.xsl top.txt The file "my_fo.xsl" is a wrapper around default /etc/.../fo.xsl: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <xsl:import href="/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/fo.xsl"/> <xsl:template match="phrase[@role='zh']"> <fo:inline font-family="UMingCN"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </fo:inline> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> In my document I switch to Chinese font ("UMingCN" in this case) typing: this is English while [zh]#this is Chinese# and this is back English. The wrapper can be easily extended to support Russian and ancient Greek ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
