Re: FOP-0.19 Release
The dist looks great!! Especially tables and borders! Few small things that I noted were - runtests.bat has some conflicts in it causing a small "bad command or filename" msg - docs/examples has a few .runtests* files there - the changes file doesn't list 0.18 -> 0.19 I was also wondering what needs to be done regarding the Avalon and FOP integration (I'm bored and looking for something to do ;) ).

Re: One Committer's Views on FOP; Informal State of the Union Address
I've been following FOP now for around 9 months and although I am not commercially using it anymore (thanks dot com crash), I am still interested in its development. I've been posting a few bug fixes on recently but not much more. The recent re-factoring and talk of re-design has left me confused about how I can help. I work from home and have time on my hands, but I don't know where to apply myself as anything could change at anytime. A re-design is needed as the code is like a rabbit warren. If we are able to continue development while working separately on the design, then great! But please lets not let this great project slow to a snails pace, because people will only keep coming back to using FOP if they know it's going to improve and expand.

Re: Printing landscape pages using AWTRenderer
Martin,
In the latest CVS for AWTRenderer is some code in getPageFormat() that
handles portrait and landscape modes. Maybe get a cvs update and see how it
goes.

Re: JDK 1.4 fonts
JDK1.3 had heaps of problems with font metrics and FOP includes work-arounds for those bugs. If they are fixed in JDK1.4 and we are still using the work arounds . then who knows what sort of results we are getting :) But if they look good ... well then great! :) > Just wanted to say that the AWT Renderer looks great with JDK 1.4 beta1. > The fonts are spaced correctly even with anti-alias rendered fonts. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
