Hi Clay:
I was looking at the compliance page on a totally unrelated topic, and
noticed that the property "font-variant" (Sec. 7.8.8) is listed as "no".
When it is convenient, that should probably be changed to "partial" with
comments similar to the following:
Funny you should pipe in today. Believe it or not, last night, /forrest/ actually returned a BUILD SUCCESSFUL using the current xml-fop/ (after many weeks/months? spent tweaking this and that)! More details (including pretty links to the forthcoming xml-fop web site) can be found in the ongoing Forrest thread[1] (or, now that I figured out how to use my apache.org/~clay/ web space, you could just go here[2] :-p).
Unfortunately, I still have a few problems (see [1]), including a rather gaping hole in the FOP Compliance page (it doesn't show *any* content--d'oh!). I'm also working on some problems with various problems in the alt.design portion of the web site. The problems are most notably:
- design/alt.design/xml-parsing.html
(no content)
- design/alt.design/properties/introduction.html
(content but all sub-links have no content)
1. "True small-caps (glyph substitution) is not supported. However, faux
small-caps is supported, i.e. lower-case glyphs are shown as their
corresponding upper-case glyphs, but at a smaller point size."
2. "[Workaround] For fonts that have true small-caps in a separate font,
true small-caps can be achieved through your stylesheet. Use a different
<strong>font-family</strong> to point to the true small-caps font instead of
using <strong>font-variant</strong>."
It may also be worth announcing the doc change on fop-user. Let me know if
you have any questions. Thanks.
Actually, if you could help me a bit to figure out what happened with the compliance page, that might help me understand more about that page, and the system used to output its rather complicated table.
Thanks!
