Jakab, thanks for the tip, I will look into it when the time comes to refactor the current solution. Unfortunately, it’s not an option at the moment due to the fact that I don’t have the resources to migrate every PDF generation to the new solution. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this – is this a FOP bug or is there something wrong with my configuration?

Generate Intermediate Format (IF) from yous fo/xslt. 2. Generate PDF from IF combined with another XSLT, which can put watermarks into the document. I use this solution with good result. You can find a good example for IF stampling in FOP 1.1 examples.

The current setup is the following: generate postscript -> apply an awk skript to the ps, that for example adds a watermark -> convert the ps to pdf. I know it might be a hacky solution, but unfortunately changing this setup is currently out of the question.

Later I’m using ps2pdf to convert the postscript files to pdfs. The text includes Lithuanian letters. However, after coverting them to pdf, two specific letters are displayed as squares, all the ohter Lituhuanian letters are displayed correctly. The problematic letters are the upper- and lowercase letters ė and Ė (e with dot, 0116 and 0117 in unicode). I can copy all the letters from the pdf (including the two problematic ones – when copying the square and pasting it somewhere, it displays the letter correctly). I am using the standard Arial font from Windows fonts (arial.ttf). This is my fop-config.xml: <configuration> <renderers> <renderer mime="application/postscript"> <auto-rotate-landscape>true</auto-rotate-landscape> <fonts> <font embed-url="./arial.ttf" encoding-mode="single-byte"> <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> </fonts> </renderer> </renderers> </configuration> When leaving out the encoding-mode=“single-byte“, the letters display correctly, but when copying from the pdf, I get gibberish. When generating straight to pdf with FOP, everything is displayed correctly and copying is also possible. I have tried other ps->pdf converters and they give the same result. Using a metric file did not help. The problem can be reproduced with the xml and xslt in the fop quick start guide (https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/quickstartguide.html) with these modifications: Set the name in name.xml to ABC14pąęčėųūĘĖŲČĄ. Add the attribute font-familiy=“Arial“ to the fo:block in name2fo.xsl. Use the above fop-config file and include the standard Arial font in FOP’s directory. Run ’fop -xml name.xml -xsl name2fo.xsl -ps name.ps<http://name.ps> -c fop-config.xml’ Can anyone suggest, what could be the issue or how should I go about debugging this? Thank You.
