We have been using the fop to print out documents so far in English, French and Swedish with no problems. However, we now have a need to print in Polish which uses characters in the ISO-8859-2 character set. In the documentation I've read so far for Fop, it says the -ps and -pdf probably do not handle anything other than ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) as has seemed to be the case so far - it prints # signs instead of the accented Polish characters. The only solution I've found so far is to use the -print argument instead - this uses the AWT library and, although font size for the line with the Polish characters looks slightly different from the other lines, it works. My problem is, however, that it does not seem to allow specifying which printer to print to - it only allows the -print with no argument. We would need this to work for a multi-instance Linux server where the printers are networked and some can be in Portugal and others in Poland - so we need to be able to specify where the output will go.
Any suggestions? Or is there an easier/better way to print these characters? We tried with UTF-8 but Fop's documentation says it does not support the multi-byte characters yet. Jill
