Re: FOP 0.94 : font auto detection test
To your question: Where are the xml metrics files ? They are not needed anymore. Today, we have a resonable well working font loading mechanism which makes metric files unnecessary since manual tweaking of the values is not needed anymore. Well, that's the theory. Auto-configuration still is a step backwards for a few minor points: - TrueType collections are not supported with auto-config, yet. - Some special fonts like Symbol may not be handled correctly. But then, it's still possible to configure the fonts explicitely with font metric files.

Hi Jeremias, I didn't know this. I haven't read the whole of fop documentation, but if theses informations are not present, it could be interesting to add them.

At first glance, I would not take these to be errors in the font- detection routine per se, but they seem to point to limitations in the types of font-files FOP can currently handle, or errors in the suppositions the current code makes about the location of ascender/ descender pairs or Unicode CMAPs in the font-files?

I think it's time to release the next version, as many bugs have been corrected and many exciting new features added. Including collapsing border model ;) Anyone against a new release? No, I think it makes sense to do another release. Although we still cant name it 1.0 as we previously agreed that we should fix the problems with changing IPD before doing a 1.0 release. I'd volunteer to deal with all the release process... unless someone volunteers even more! However, I would gladly accept any help regarding updating the documentation. +1 from me. Chris
Re: FOP 0.94
Vincent, I would love to have Bug 42785 ( patch to support baseline-shift ) applied before the release, because then I could release a new plugin for the new version. I've read your comment, and I will check with the spec which options I have to improve the patch, however this will take a little while, and I will hopefully be able to do it latest by this weekend. What timeline for the release do you have in mind?

What timeline for the release do you have in mind? Don't worry, there's not that much a hurry. First we will need to get approval from the team. Then, keep it for yourself but I fear there may be some discussion about the release number. Then ideally we should make up a list of bugs and patches that should be corrected or applied before releasing. Then there's the documentation update. Then find time to actually launch the release process (branching, tagging, building, signing...). It would be good indeed to have your patch applied before the release. Being a small patch that should be quite easy anyway. I'll make sure this will happen. Cheers, Vincent
