font weight in embedded SVG images
Hello all, I have noticed an odd behavior when text is rendered in SVG in pdf output with FOP 0.20.5. I didn't see any references to this in the mail archive and am wondering if perhaps I am doing something wrong or missing something. In short, it appears that text in SVG images in pdf output is rendered like bold text when compared to the same text (same font, style, weight, etc) rendered in a normal part of the pdf. Is this my imagination, or is this essentially defective behavior? The same SVG when extracted from the fo document, btw, renders the text as expected when viewed in Batik's Squiggle browser or in the Adobe SVG viewer. Any comments are appreciated in advance. thanks for your consideration, Matthew L. Avizinis Gleim Publications, Inc.

Re: Failed to read font metrics file
You need to use the FOP TTFReader to generate the metrics file.
Look at http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html#truetype-metrics

Subject: Re: FOP extension functions
This passage means that when you package your extension in a separate
JAR file you have to add a certain file to the JAR. It's name is
org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping and must contain the fully qualified
classname of your class that extends the ElementMapping interface. That
file must be in the directory META-INF/services.
So if you have generated your extension jar, it must have approximately
the following contents:
/META-INF/services/org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping
com/gleim/myfopext/MyFopExtElementMapping.class
com/gleim/myfopext/MyFopExtElement.class
[..]
In Driver.java (at the end) you will see code that inspects this special
file you have to add. It's to make sure that the extension is registered.
You can also skip this step with tat special file if you call
Driver.addElementMapping() either with the fully qualified classname or
an instance of the ElementMapping implementation.
This may also help on your way:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-userm=10384400488w=2
I hope this helps.
May I ask what extension you're planning? Just curious.

RE: FOP extension functions
I have written an extension that I had discussed a while ago about writing page numbers to an alternate xml file while FOP is running. I submitted it a while ago. It has a number of properties that allow you to name the file, whether it is the first or last entry going into the file so you can create a well-formed xml file, name the root element if it is the first entry to the file, the element name itself, and an id. This has allowed me to compile large books with many images by chapter (thus reducing memory usage) and still be able to make page cross-references from chapter to chapter. The code has been corrected recently by someone here that is more of a Java programmer than I. I will be posting the corrected extension code as soon as I implement your very information instructions and test it. Previously, I had only been able to insert the function by rebuilding FOP with my code files in the source area (I had a misinterpretation of the instructions that another person here at my company interpreted correctly and pointed it out to me). I also have an extension that emits two page numbers (there was a short discussion a number of months ago) per page, e.g. left page - 1, 2; right page -- 3, 4, since I recently had a need for such a thing myself. thanks for the help. -Original Message- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 11:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FOP extension functions This passage means that when you package your extension in a separate JAR file you have to add a certain file to the JAR.

RE: Combining JavaScript with Fop application
What you're writing about here is how to use Javascript with Xalan. When you run FOP from the command line, it is transparent to the user that it is calling and running Xalan to create the fo file before FOP itself runs on the fo file. If you look at the Xalan page of apache.org, you'll see a number of examples of how to use Javascript. If you need any more help after that, just send another message and I'll be glad to help, as I use Java and Javascript extension functions to Xalan in my own work. Matthew L.

RE: When a page is not a page
Nope. Neither will work. Sorry. That's what I get for speaking b4
thinking.
Where's the variable going to get it's value from? Certainly not from the
fo:page-number instruction -- that's for the FOP processor to use not the
XSLT processor. You'll get NaN.

Subject: RE: When a page is not a page
I believe this will not work as Wayne intends.
Page numbers will be generated sequentially starting with the
initial-page-number.
So, this might work better:
fo:page-sequence initial-page-number=0
then
xsl:variable name=currentpagefo:page-number//xsl:variable
then
Then xsl:value-of select=(2 * $currentpage) + 1/ for the left page
number
and xsl:value-of select=(2 * $currentpage) + 2/ for the right page
number

Just speculating, but have you tried putting the page-number

a variable?
i.e.:
xsl:variable name=currentpagefo:page-number//xsl:variable
Then xsl:value-of select=$currentpage * 2/, etc...
I haven't tried this, but it's just what pops into my head...

The picture above represents a single sheet of A4 (Letter)

if the page is folded down the dotted line it even starts to

fo:region-body margin-top=10mm

using the following
fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-after

fo:table table-layout=fixed
fo:table-column column-width=120mm/

Precisely. I thought I just said that. You're just more eloquent... :-) -Original Message- From: Arved Sandstrom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 9:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: When a page is not a page Here is the thing. XSLT and XSL-FO are independent. XSL-FO has no more special meaning to XSLT than does MathML or DocBook or SVG. XSLT understands its own elements (including extensions of course). It understands no others. fo:page-number/ (or as Ken Holman points out, page-number/ in the http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format namespace, since we may assign any prefix we like, or none) is not acted on by the XSL-FO formatter to produce a number until after XSLT is done. Period. And note that fo:page-number/ never actually _is_ a number, and in fact the formatter is not required to even generate a stringified page-number. This is what the XSL Recommendation allows or does not allow you to do. If you feel that there is a compelling use case for being able to do what you want to do, I'd suggest writing it up and submitting it to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. Hope this clears things up.

However fo:page-number/ does not like being treated like a number, as it does not assign to a variable numerically. This was surprising. The following snippet fo:block space-after=5mm text-align=justify - fo:page-number/ - xsl:variable name=curpagefo:page-number//xsl:variable xsl:value-of select=$curpage/ - xsl:value-of select=$curpage * 2/ - xsl:value-of select=floor($curpage) * 2/ - xsl:value-of select=column-number/ - xsl:value-of select=(2 * $curpage) + 1/ - xsl:number/ /fo:block produces the following output On page (sheet) 1. - 1 - - NaN - NaN - - NaN - 1 On sheet 2. - 2 - - NaN - NaN - - NaN - 1 i.e On sheet n. - n - - NaN - NaN - - NaN - 1 Expected for sheet n was - n - n - 2n - 2n - 2n? - 2n+1- 1? Not sure why page-number behaves non-numerically. Perhaps it is something to do with the number formatting, e.g 1 = i = a etc. Perhaps there is a low level function that can extract the number part from fo:page-number? What I really need is a way of determining the number of the current column, based on column count and page number,but this also eludes me. WPE - Original Message - From: Matthew L.

table-cell content justify
Hello all, Is it possible to text-align=justify some-textfo:leadersome-text in a table-cell? It seems like text by itself can be justified, but when a fo:leader is inserted between text is displayed, leader fills the rest of the cell and the remaining text hangs off to the right. Is there a way to keep it all within the boundaries of the cell, or is it necessary to calculate how much space the text occupies in the cell and then make a good estimate of, i.e. calculate by, the length of the leader?
