Hello,

I am trying to produce a pdf document in Sanskrit based on a docbook
source. I use Xalan (with -p body.font.family "'chandas'") to generate an
fo file, as well as an html, and then fop to convert the fo into pdf.

The html file seems to be correct, in that they render the following
characters as a joint character: िश्च
(see fop.png, which is the fo file seen with Firefox in Linux).

The pdf file, however, doesn't seem to be correct. (see pdf.png)

I would appreciate any help on the topic.

Thanks,

Matt


Note:

(1) I use fop-0.93 on a Linux 2.6.20 64bit (gentoo), with sun-jdk-1.5.0.11

(2) I have registered the chandas.ttf (see http://www.sanskritweb.org/cakram/) 
with fop:
<font metrics-url="file:///usr/local/fop/conf/chandas.xml"
kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///usr/local/share/fonts/devanagari/chandas.ttf">
        <font-triplet name="chandas" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>

(3) Running fop `/usr/local/fop/fop -c /usr/local/fop/conf/fop.xconf utf8.fo
-pdf utf8.pdf` produces several warnings:
