For me using xmlto with the fop backend succeeds when working around the fop bug #447951 [1]: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work/fop/demo$ ls -l total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 ah ah 166 2008-07-27 10:47 bts447951.xsl -rw-r--r-- 1 ah ah 322 2008-07-27 10:27 example.xml [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work/fop/demo$ cat bts447951.xsl <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> <xsl:param name="draft.mode">no</xsl:param> </xsl:stylesheet> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work/fop/demo$ xmlto -m bts447951.xsl --with-fop pdf example.xml Making portrait pages on a4 paper (210mmx297mm) 27-Jul-08 11:18:32 AM org.apache.fop.hyphenation.Hyphenator getHyphenationTree SEVERE: Couldn't find hyphenation pattern en [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work/fop/demo$ echo $? 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work/fop/demo$ ls -l total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 ah ah 166 2008-07-27 10:47 bts447951.xsl -rw-r--r-- 1 ah ah 6316 2008-07-27 11:18 example.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 ah ah 322 2008-07-27 10:27 example.xml <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I won't blame xmlto for the fop problem and thus consider the package usable (although not perfect). Furthermore fop's current upstream maintainer, Ondřej Vašík, has told me in a private mail that he considers to add support for the dblatex backend in a future xmlto version, which is another alternative to passivetex. Thus forget about your anger, try to motivate the maintainers and authors (it's all voluntary work after all), and the situation should improve further.
