I can't remember the details but there are certain gui packages which Fop needs to process the default fonts: if you run it on linux without X-windows it may well complain

You can use xsl:fo in ANY system that has an implementation of the Java VM. This includes any reasonable implementation of Unix (AFAIK). Many people use Cocoon 2 from the Apache project because it provides a ton of features, but you can use just the Fop program if you wish to. I use it both ways and have also used it from XML Spy. In Cocoon 2 you can run XSL transformations to produce an XSL:FO document and render this to one of a number of formats such as PDF, PS and RTF using the FopSerializer. I have also used Fop driven by a shell script. The memory footprint is smaller but you have to cart Fop around with you. From Cocoon, you can generate fancy-pants documents over the network. Cocoon has a much steeper and lengthy learning curve. Fop is much smaller and comes with lots of examples. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
