RE: Showing FO output

[Ronald Jaramillo]

A year and a half ago we started to do something like that for a client ( we
were even planning to ship an installer with a JRE bundled ), until they
went out of bussines :(. 
But yesterday due to a mail from Keiron in replay to 'forrest is coming( fop
logo )' I fished out of my HD some artwork ( splash screen and logo ) we
were planning to use for the project. You can see some images @
http://www.manoamano.dk/FOP/ .
mvh

 I agree with you, I was thinking about it too. btw, I found 
 an interesting 
 mail in the xsl-list archive back to 1999 from James Tauber 
 about his vision 
 of FOP's future[1]:
 To give a little insight into my *long term* vision for FOP. 
 Eventually, I
 would like to put a GUI interface on top to allow exactly 
 this kind of human
 fine-tuning. The FOP engine does an initial layout and then a 
 human can
 override line/column/page breaks, hyphenation, kerning, etc., 
 saving back as
 formatting objects again.
 Well, but 1.0dev certanly is higher in the task list.
