Re: bugger fonts still won't work desperate...
Hi Jochen, The metrics files are loaded using URI syntax, so either you specify a relative path like font metrics-file=codegen/arial.xml ... or a fully qualified path like font metrics-file=file:///d:/fop/codegen/arial.xml ... It's a bit confusing because you can specify d:/fop/codegen/Arial.ttf for the font but you are obliged to put the file:/// in front of the metrics file path. Hope it helps. regards, thierry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok here is the deal.

Re: How can I dynamically pass data to be formatted??
Hi Brahma, When you dynamicaly, do you mean that depending on an external parameter you want, using the same xsl-fo file, write down either the total_amount or the net_amount? If so, you can for instance define a XML parameter file you read into your xsl-fo file with the "document(...)" fonction, and test what you want to print... Or you can pass parameters to your xsl-fo template, but I am not sure if it's possible to do it programatically to-day.

Specific footer on the last page
Hi everybody, Here is my problem: I have a document that may have 1 to N pages. I would like to print something on the footer of the last page (or at least on the bottom). But, if there is only one page, the last page is also the first. I tried something like: fo:layout-master-set !-- layout for normal pages -- fo:simple-page-master master-name=ordinary fo:region-body margin-top=.2cm/ fo:region-after region-name=ordinary_footer extent=0cm/ /fo:simple-page-master !-- layout information for the last page which contains a special footer -- fo:simple-page-master master-name=last_page fo:region-body margin-bottom=9.5cm/ fo:region-after region-name=last_page_footer extent=9.5cm/ /fo:simple-page-master fo:page-sequence-master master-name=contents fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position=last master-name=last_page/ fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position=first master-name=ordinary/ fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position=rest master-name=ordinary / /fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives /fo:page-sequence-master /fo:layout-master-set It doesnt work: I made several tests but it looks like I have the footer on every page instead of the last one only. For the last page footer, I'm using a static-content with the flow-name set to the region-name defined in the layout. Actually the footer is printed on every page, as if only page-position=last is invoqued. Do I miss something in the use of fo:conditional-page-master-reference?

One possibility is to put the text into a footnote and refer to it from an otherwise empty block at the end of the text. Specify a character which does not render a visibly glyph as the footnote character, like a zero width space. You might have to customize the footnote separator as well.

Thanx a billion, Thierry Arved Sandstrom wrote: Hi, JensIn the page masters you can explicitly specify the region-master names also, using the 'region-name' property. It so happens that many people leave these off in examples, and the default values (such as 'xsl-region-start') get assigned. So don't trust examples all the time. :-)Let's say you have one page-master for the first page, and another page-master for the rest of the pages. Give the region-before's different region-names. Then, in your page-sequence, define 2 static-contents for the headers, one of which references one region-name, and the other references the other region-name. They will get appropriately mapped.Hope this helps.Arved Sandstrom - Original Message - From: Jens Eckert To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 11:21 AM Subject: Re: a custom header according to page number I do have a similar (or the same?) problem. I have a flow that runs through all the pages. On the first page, though, I'd like to have a different header (static content). So far I defined two simple-page masters and a page-sequence-master that uses a simple-page master for the first page and the other one for the rest. But where do I specify where which (static content) header to use? In the page-masters I can only set margins etc.(?) I tried to use two page-sequences, one for each page master, but then I get the XML-content twice: once for the first page sequence once for the second. Can I specify static content in the page-master? Thanks Jens Cyril Rognon schrieb: If you only need to ditinguish the first page from the other ones, simply use a different page-master (reference or name ;-) according to the spec conformance) and use this page master for your cover page only. This will do the trick easily. one page-master for the cover (one page-sequence using this page-master-reference) , and different page-master for the rest of the page sequences.

Don't think about using some predicate considering the page number, xsl fo and fop are loosely coupled, it is meant to be that way. So it forbids the user to use the internal page number programaticaly (some FO processor provide extension to do this, fop does not). [Ismaeil, Sameh] yes, I kind of noticed that , it is usually one way: FOP code -> fo XSL ->pdf document if your need is more complex and you have some magic formula to guess wich page is affected, conditionnal master-page may be to low level ...
