Something like \hbox?
Hi all! Consider a block-container, parent of several other block-container elements. Now what I want is a way to fill that parent container in horizontal order with child block-containers (in TeX I would use '\hbox' for this...). Is something like this possible in XSL-FO, and if yes is it implemented in FOP? Greetings, Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
normal spaces
greetings fellow fopsters if this is a non breaking space #x200B; then what is the character for a normal space as recognised by FOP? Cheers. Jimmy. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Font from PFM File
Hi all, I'm kinda new to Fop, what I do not understand is: How can I get the Font from a font file in Fop? One can create TTFFile by using a TTFReader and create a PFMFile by using a PFMReader. But how does one actualy get the Font from this XYZFile? For .ttf files I now just use Java's standard Font.createFont(Font.TTF,InputStream), but the Font.createFont(Font.Type1,InputStream) works only for .pfb files. So now I wonder how to get the Font from a PFMFile? I think it should probably be possible, but I just understand how...

To create a PDF using XSL-FO with a custom font? If so, the normal procedure starts with a TTF file and you use the TTFReader to create a font metrics XML file. The XML File is then used together with the original TTF file by Font to create a PDF file. This is documented on the website: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.92/fonts.html#custom Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Scaling images that are running off the page!
Title: Scaling images that are running off the page!
Hello All,
I am trying to scale images that are running off the page owing to their width and height dimensions.
My page has a width of 7 inches and a height of 6.75 inches.
This is my fo: instruction:
fo:external-graphic width=100% content-height=100% content-width=scale-to-fit scaling=uniform display-align=center
xsl:attribute name=srcurl('xsl:value-of select=FileName/')/xsl:attribute
/fo:external-graphic
But when I try to insert an image that has dimensions of 2000X2000 pixels it fails. It fails for an image that is 512X716. But works for an image that is 800X750.
Is there a way by which I could scale the image both horizontally and vertically so that I can insert an image of any dimensions?
Between thanks to Chris Bowditch for helping me out with other issues. Chris , I was able to work out the other spacing issues.It just required moving some blocks and inlines around.
Sindhu Cherla.

kloassie wrote: Hi Chris, I mean this: 1. A .ttf file contains a font - A java.awt.Font object can be created from a .ttf file 2. Windows can read a font from a .pfm file - A .pfm file contains a font - I expect in some way a java.awt.Font can be created from a .pfm file 3. Fop supports .pfm files - I expect in some way Fop can be used to create a java.awt.Font from a .pfm file 4. I do not see how I should use Fop to create a java.awt.Font from a .pfm file So thats my question: how do I get the Font from a .pfm file using Fop? You don't. FOP uses its own classes for dealing with Fonts because there are several drawbacks to using Java AWT. Hence the need to create Font Metrics, FOP uses the metrics and not the java.awt.Font object. There are some exceptions to this (i.e. the AWT Renderer) If you want to create a java.awt.Font object then just use Java. Why do you need FOP or XSL-FO at all?

Re: Something like \hbox?
Thanks for your replies, guys! To summarize, my options for an FOP \hbox are: -wait until floats are implemented -use table design -use the 'reference-orientation' attribute. -or alternatively, implement a horizontal box stacking algorithm in XSLT utilizing XSL-FO absolute positioning. I think I will go for the reference-orientation option, it sounds like the one most likely to work... Thanks!

Is something like this possible in XSL-FO, and if yes is it implemented in FOP? So, if I understand you correctly, you want block-level elements stacked in the inline direction? I think you can use fo:block with children that are inline elements, e.g. fo:inline or fo:inline-container. The stacking direction is not determined by the containing element, but by the type of the element itself, whether it returns an inline or a block area.

RE: Saxon 8 with FOP 0.92b
Andreas, I did add this line to my batch file, which does make it work, however I still have to have the saxon8.jar and saxon8-dom.jar in my java\lib\endorsed. In fact my batch file works the same with or without the additional TransformerFactory=... I believe that FOP will automatically use saxon when it is found in the endorsed folder (at least that's what I am doing now and it does work). Thanks for the help, I guess I will just have to make sure the clients have the two jar files in the endorsed folder.

Carriage return in FOP 0.92 version

Not 100% sure what you want to achieve but possibly putting the property linefeed-treatment=preserve on the enclosing fo:block element may do the trick. Of course that is something you need to do in the stylesheet which takes your input xml and transforms it into the fo document fop consumes. Thanks, Sindhu Cherla.
