Hello fop users ! Finally, it has been done : our renderer to generate output for oki dot matrix printers is gone open source as part of the mogwai project on sourceforge.net. The current release can be downloaded at http://mogwai.sourceforge.net .
This renderer generates escape sequences which can be directly send to the matrix printer. Thus, the data is not printed pixel-per-pixel like printing with acrobat. The printing process is really speeded up. The release 0.1 has the following limitations : 1. No graphics and no svg is supported. 2. There are only two font sizes ( normal and double-height, double-width ) 3. Only horizontal lines are supported. Vertical lines are cut away. This renderer has been used in production environment, and it fits our needs very well. The few limitations are no real problem, because the printing is done on pre-printed business paper, so there is no need for lines and the artwork. Making this renderer available is our way to say "thank you" to the community. All the developers of the fop team have done a real great work. Thanks a lot. I hope that this renderer is also usefull for other people. If there are any problems, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy coding!
