I played a bit around with FOP today. I'm amazed how much works fine, actually. I set JAVA_HOME to where I installed kaffe, and ran fop on all the examples in examples/fo to produce pdf files. It didn't work on all of them, but it worked and produced correct results on many examples.
As long as the FO file doesn't involve graphics, especially SVG, or massive fonts trickery, or hyphenation tables, it seems to work alright.
The SVG problem is partially related to a bug in kaffe's DirectColorModel implementation. I tryed to replace it with the implementation from GNU Classpath, but that broke MPEG_Play again, which was fixed by Nicolas last year. Nicolas, do you have the time to look at the DirectColorImplementation from GNU Classpath and merge it in, fixing its bugs?
Replacing DirectColorModel lets fop get a little further, until it breaks because kaffe doesn't have a Java2D implementation yet. I hope to be able to merge in Agile2D for that task eventually, but that's post 1.1.3 material.
cheers, dalibor topic
