I had a question in the fop-users for Font Weight regarding relative weight fonts, but apparently:
7.9.9 font-weight Basic partial partial partial TODO <relative> font weights I'm thinking we probably need additional font metrics xml files in the src\codegen\fonts folder. :-) So... who is the expert on font weight here and how can you I help you generate the right metrics to get this working? -Josh -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Hennebert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2011 3:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: reference-orientation on side regions On 07/03/11 23:57, Andreas Delmelle wrote: > > On 04 Mar 2011, at 12:25, Vincent Hennebert wrote: > >> On 03/03/11 20:18, Andreas Delmelle wrote: >>> >>> Let's assume that this refers to the default/normal situation.

Where does it say 'viewport'? A viewport-area /is/ a reference-area.

The topic is already complex, I think it’s important to not add to the confusion by making sure we are reading it properly. Would you mind backing your points with references to the spec? If we take the XSL-FO example I put in my first message: • from Section 6.4.13, “fo:simple-page-master” “[The] reference-orientation [of the page-viewport-area] is set to ‘0’” “The reference-orientation of the page-reference-area [...] [is] determined by the [...] fo:page-sequence.” So the page-viewport-area has a reference-orientation of 0: Top Left Right Bottom And the page-reference-area has a reference-orientation of 90. As explained in Section 7.21.3, “reference-orientation”, its reference-orientation “is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the reference-orientation of the [page-viewport-area]”: R T B L • from Section 6.4.15, “fo:region-before”: “The reference-orientation [...] of the region-viewport-area [is] determined by the [...] fo:page-sequence” “The reference-orientation of the region-reference-area is set to ‘0’ and is, therefore, the same as the orientation established by the region-viewport-area.” So the reference-orientation of the region-viewport-area is rotated 90° counter-clockwise from the reference-orientation of the containing reference-area, which is the page-reference-area (see section 6.4.5, “fo:page-sequence”: “The region-viewport-area children of such a page-reference-area...”): B R L T And, as explained in my first message, since the content-rectangle of an area uses the reference-orientation of that area, the description in Section 6.4.15 about how the content-rectangle should be positioned appears to be inconsistent. The reference-orientation of the region-reference-area is the same as the one from the region-viewport-area: B R L T > Regards, > > Andreas Thanks, Vincent ----------------------------------------- The information in this message may be proprietary and/or confidential, and protected from disclosure.
