I note that fop can generate printable PostScript
(the -ps flag in the command line version).

My requirment is to generate EPSF; I am making
"fragments" for makeup into a large page
by an external (interactive) application.

The postscript generated is most definitely
NOT epsf, or even close. In particular there *IS*
is a call to a global device operator - setpagedevice.

q1) are there any plans to generate EPSF?
I suspect I know enough to use perl (or similar) to transform
the present PostScript into EPSF, but I'd rather not...

An epsf file, to be useful in an interactive environment
needs a rendered preview. Given that fop can also
generate a number of raster formats, I was hoping
to use this facility to generate EPSF and a raster
preview from the same xsl/data. However, given
some helpful advice from Andreas, it appears
that choice of renderer influences layout decisions.

q2) Is it possible to (somehow) use the same layout
for two renderers? in my particular circumstances
induividual character appearance is a moderately low
priority; whiat I do require is that line wrapping
and general layout is the same between the EPSF and
the preview.

If the AT file specified the exact placement of each character
my purpose would be well served.
