Jennifer Hodgdon commented on FOP-2728:
---------------------------------------
Well, I guess I can try to modify the FO file to make it smaller and simpler,
but in order to see if a smaller FO file still has the same problem as the one
attached to this issue at the moment, I would still need to have a font that
contains Farsi characters, so we can see if the output is readable or not.
Regarding TrueType fonts, when I tried one that was OpenType instead of
TrueType, the FO processing didn't even recognize it as a font... but maybe
that font had other problems, I really don't know.
So... Can you suggest a font other than FreeFarsi that I should try for testing
purposes, which has the Farsi character range in it?
> 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,

> 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.
