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. - markus
