Thanks for reply. This ensures that Katakana is BMP encoded and FOP 1.1 supports it.
But I am stuck in while generating pdf using FOP 1.1. Here are some more queries to get it work. 1. The XML which I am using to convert into Pdf, contains encoding UTF-8 as you suggested. sample1.xml <http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/file/n42183/sample1.xml> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <data> <field>First Name???? ???? ??</field> <data-entered>Jock</data-entered> </data> 2. The XSL contains font family for blocks in which those will be rendered. - sample1.xsl <http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/file/n42183/sample1.xsl> Question: 1) Should I specify the font in XSL for Japanese language? 3. Java code contains the main steps to convert XML into pdf. - ExampleXML2PDF.java <http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/file/n42183/ExampleXML2PDF.java> // configure fopFactory final FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); // FOP configuration - fop_allfonts.xconf <http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/file/n42183/fop_allfonts.xconf> fopFactory.setUserConfig("fop_allfonts.xconf"); // configure foUserAgent FOUserAgent foUserAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent(); // Construct fop with Pdf output format Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, out); // Setup XSLT TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsltfile)); // Start XSLT transformation and FOP processing transformer.transform(src, res); Question: 1) Do I need to specify fonts which will get used while rendering pdf? (for example) fopFactory.getFontManager().setFontBaseURL("C:/fonts"); 2) I have converted XSL file directly into Pdf. Is it required to convert XSL into FO first and then from FO to Pdf? -- View this message in context: http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/FOP-1-1-Japanese-4-byte-characters-are-rendering-as-in-pdf-tp42117p42183.html Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
