Hi, I am not sure on the licensing part as sebastian did some changes in FOP code and he provided me the jars. And as per what i had checked those jar print arabic correctly. Possibly he will only be able to answer and I am nots ure whether the change was made keeping FOP standards. He was planning to do bidi algorithm, no idea whether he worked on it later and whether he contribuited the below change to FOP.
Below were his comments - If I set the writing-mode to rl-tb my text is flipped vertical. This happens because the CTM class rotates the transformation matrix for rendering according to the writing mode. If I want to write right-to-left this has nothing to do with mirroring of cause and I disabled it, because I want to print arabic text. So what is the purpose of mirroring in rl-tb writing-mode? What errors will appear if I disable the CTM.getWMctm() function that does the mirroring according to the writing-mode? I achived printing (pdf) arabic text after some weeks of work ignoring any xsl:fo recommendations. The most things I did in the TextLayoutManager. Now I'm thinking about implementing it according to the recommendations and the BIDI algorithm. Hi Prakash, you can download the version of FOP that I use to print Arabic script from www.anneundsebp.de/fop/fop.html I hope it works for you. Unfortunately I don't understand Arabic but I know that there are still some problems with the type setting. Maybe you can inform me about bugs you'll find. I'll add some explanations and the source code in a few days.
