Package: fop Version: 1:1.1.dfsg2-1 Severity: wishlist Hi. When trying to figure out how to make sure my docbook sidebars end up on the side of the text, I tried following the instructions on <URL: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SideFloats.html > and wrote a simple example docbook file to test floating sidebars. This do not work and I get a message about a missing feature. Please add support for sidebars placed at the side of the text body.
When processing my example, I get this message and the sidebar has disappeared from the resulting PDF: % xmlto --with-fop pdf db-sidebar-test.xml Making portrait pages on letter paper (215.9mmx279.4mm) Font "Symbol,normal,700" not found.
