My client is running fop-0.20.4 on AIX 4.3 with JRE 1.3 (IBM). Apparently, 1.3 is the latest version of JRE available for AIX 4.3, so we can't do the '-Djava.awt.headless=true' command line option. We've also tried the other avenues indicated in the Batik section of FOP/graphics. We've also tried into installing some funky AWT implementation which doesn't require X server. But fonts aren't working (yet).
In addition, we've tried outputting to -ps (works *great* on AIX 4.3 btw), and then converting to TIFF using ImageMagick, but there are numerous problems there (binaries break under AIX, source doesn't compile w/o significant mods to header vars & macros).
Essentially what we want, is to be able to do use FOP to -print under Java 1.3, without requiring an X-server.
Any ideas?
FWIW, here's the e-mail I received from my colleague RE: the problems we're having.
