Glenn Adams commented on FOP-2728: ---------------------------------- You should focus on creating a (MUCH simpler) version of simple.fo and use that as input to FOP for testing purposes so you can bypass all docbook pre-processing via XSLT. Make sure you specify writing-mode="rl" or "rl-tb" on fo:page-sequence, not fo:root. Regarding font support, you have it backwards. The primary support is for OpenType, and only OT tables are supported for complex script processing. > Persian (Farsi) output problem with FOP > --------------------------------------- > > Key: FOP-2728 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2728 > Project: FOP > Issue Type: Bug > Components: renderer/pdf > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Environment: Ubuntu 16.04 with xmlto 0.0.28 > Reporter: Navid Emami > Labels: drupal > Attachments: mkebooks.sh, pdf-farsi.xsl, sample-output-final.zip, > sample-output.zip > > > We are having trouble making Persian (Farsi) language output with FOP. > We are using the *xmlto* script with the --with-fop option to convert a > DocBook file to PDF using FOP, which uses XSLT to first make a FO file, and > then FOP to convert to PDF. We used the --noclean option to capture the > intermediate FO XML file. > We have verified that the Persian (Farsi) characters are readable in the > DocBook and FO files. However, when we generate the PDF, the output is not > readable. There are both _joined_ and _separated_ letters in Persian (Farsi) > language but the output in PDF format has just separated ones. > Note that there are some font issues in the PDF output as well -- missing > glyphs -- those show as # characters, and are in the chapter/section > headings. However, the main body of the text has no # characters, and it > still has this problem. > *Attachments:* > * sample-output.zip contains small.docbook, small.fo, small.epub and > small.pdf. The final output of PDF should be similar to EPUB. > * sample-output-full.zip contains guide.epub and guide.pdf which are the > complete documents but with wrong rendering of characters in PDF. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
