firstly, FOP 1.0 does not support Arabic or bidirectional languages; however, the current development trunk, which will lead to a new version FOP 1.1, does support Arabic; to download a nightly build snapshot of the current trunk, see [1]; for preliminary documentation on complex scripts support, see [2]; pay close attention to supported fonts;
secondly, the $HOME/.foprc file is for configuring the fop shell script, e.g., setting shell or environment variables; this is different from using an fop.xconf file with the Fop java application; you need to specify a command line option to use an xconf configuration file, e.g., fop -c fop.xconf ..., more about which see [3] [1] http://ci.apache.org/projects/xmlgraphics/fop/snapshots/ [2] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/complexscripts.html [3] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/configuration.html On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 10:14 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi. > > I'm on Debian Linux trying to change the default font for FOP so > that the font contains Arabic glyphs. > > When I run FOP I get the error: > > .foprc: 1: Syntax error: newline unexpected > > My .foprc looks like this: > > <fop version="1.0"> > <renderers> > <renderer mime="application/pdf"> > <fonts> > <auto-detect/> > </fonts> > </renderer> > </renderers> > </fop> > > If I squash that hole section together into a single line, I > instead get this error: > > .foprc: 1: Syntax error: redirection unexpected > > I'm using FOP Version 1.0. > > Is this a bug in FOP or is there a way around it? > > Best regards > > Martin > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
