Not necessary in this case, I think. All FOP developers listen into this list anyway. If it comes to discussing implementation details we can always switch over. In the meantime this is valuable information for FOP users. > Seams like there has been som changes in the standrard or something like > that since both acrobat reader and ghostscript ignores the fop generated EPS > files. I've looked up the PDF 1.5 specification that Acrobat Reader 6 is based on. In section 4.7 "External Objects" you find this: > A PostScript XObject (Section 4.7.1, �PostScript XObjects�) contains a > fragment of code expressed in the PostScript page description language. > PostScript XObjects are no longer recommended to be used. The second sentence wasn't there in PDF 1.4 which probably means that Adobe removed the support for PostScript XObjects entirely. Still doesn't explain why it doesn't work in GhostScript 8.x.
