Hi !

First, I have not found a searchable archive of the mailing list,
so I don't know whether this topic has been discussed earlier
and I have not found any documentation on this.

Has anybody running FOP on OS/390 ?

We found several hard to find and fix problems using
xerces, xalan, fop under OS/390.

Why fop (and xalan) can't handle UTF-16 config files ?
Why the config files are not stored in UTF-16 ?
Why fop can't handle UTF-16 input
(and xalan only UTF-16 XML files but no UTF-16 XSL files) ?

Over the last weeks we found all problems and fixed all, but one.

PDF is a binary format, or ?
The character encoding in PDF is always ASCII, or ?

FOP uses String.getBytes(), which converts everything
whith the default locale to bytes. That means with a non ASCII
default encoding FOP is broken.

If PDF always is using binary ASCII, why not setting "8859_1"
as encoding in getBytes().

I hope there's a solution.
