Re: Wrapping Long Text Without Spaces
Just FYI: the other known workaround (which fits some scenarios better than inserting ZWSPs) would be to activate hyphenation, and use a ZWSP as hyphenation-character... In that case, FOP will This is new to me, so let me see if I understand: A ZWSP is implicit between characters. For example, the word CAT would contain three characters and two ZWSP: C-ZWSP-A-ZWSP-T. Setting hyphenation to ZWSP would allow wrapping as: CA T ...or... C AT I think this sounds like the solution to use!

out.flush()
Will someone add out.flush() to the embedding example on the FOP website...for example, at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/embedding.html?

Re: out.flush()
Closing the buffered out without flushing causes the PDF file to be closed before all data is written to it. Originally when I started working with the embedded FOP I had this problem...adding the flush got rid of the problem completely. Another user had the same problem and reported it on 3/6/07 in a message titled, FOP 0.93 generated a damaged PDF File. Liam responded on 3/7/07 to do a flush before the close. According to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/FilterOutputStream.html#clos e(), the flush() should be implicit, which agrees with your response. On a possibly related note, I only experienced the problem within the context of my servlet, never on my local system, so I'm not ruling out a java bug.

RE: Page break
I have a module with 4 column.The first column is a product descripion and the third is the price.Then when if the description is break on the new page the prrice is on the same line of the first product description line but i want that the price is dyplayed on the last line of the description I assume you're using table cells for the columns? Set the Price table cell to align to the bottom. In HTML this would be: td valign=bottom In XSL-FO it is: fo:table-cell display-align=after Actually, you may wish to cause paragraphs not to break on page. In other words, an entire description will always appear on the same page as its price. In XSL-FO this is the keep-together=always attribute inside of the table or cell element you wish to keep on the same page. I hope that is helpful.

RE: Arial Unicode MS-MathML-bitmaps
when embedding Arial Unicode MS font using TTFReader
I had to change the font's name avoiding spaces
We've discussed this at length, recently. Apparently, the current FOP code
tree has been adjusted for this, although according to the CSS spec, it's
not an error. Font names that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotes. The
CSS spec on 'font-family' gives this example in section 5.2.2 of the Level 1
spec, 11-JAN-1999:
Font names containing whitespace should be quoted:
BODY { font-family: new century schoolbook, serif }
BODY STYLE=font-family: 'My own font', fantasy

Re: [SPAM] font-family=Arial Unicode MS in rtf doesn't work
I don't doubt that you, the FOP developers, are a group of good software professionals and a bunch of nice peaple. But the way you handle FOP as a product development project and relate to the user's of FOP is downright amateurish. And for me irritating, too. It seems most of the misunderstanding about the Apache FOP project can be illustrated from your first paragraph. First, this is the FOP users list, not the FOP developers list. If you want to know how the daily development proceeds, join the correct list. Second, the project is open source, which means that by definition it is neither professional nor amateur. It is a volunteer group. Undoubtedly, some developers are professionals and some are amateur, but that is irrelevant. If someone would like to see more progress in an area, then you've got SVN and may even have knowledge of java...get crackin! Third, we're not nice people; or rather, it's irrelevant whether we are. We are FOP users who have questions about, or are interested in, the product. I don't doubt that you're irritated. But expressing your irritation - which seems based on a misunderstanding of open source software - is not appropriate. If you have questions, or wish to encourage the group to make certain decisions or changes, then please ask. I've only been reading for about a month now, and I find this group to be very reasonable and dedicated.

Re: font-family=Arial Unicode MS in rtf doesn't work
No, they didn't! My error report was cosed with the remark that
in FOP the workaround is quoting. Yeah, but that's not the
answer I would expect (ord accept) for such a
(technically) minor bug.
I've changed my opinion on this issue. The CSS spec on 'font-family' gives
this example in section 5.2.2 of the Level 1 spec, 11-JAN-1999:
Font names containing whitespace should be quoted:
BODY { font-family: new century schoolbook, serif }
BODY STYLE=font-family: 'My own font', fantasy
To me, this cannot be labeled a workaround in FOP, it is compliance with
the spec. Frankly, I've never seen single quotes within an attribute, and I
would have bet money otherwise, but it's clear as can be in the CSS spec.
The level 2 spec contains the same example of single quoting font names that
contain spaces.
As an aside, Altova StyleVision currently ships with FOP .25, and it does
not single quote fonts containing spaces, which causes the integrated FO
support to fail when identifying fonts by font-family. It's unfortunate, but
it looks to me like this is a bug in StyleVision that should be corrected by
Altova. Although, I have to admit that it would be nice if FOP were
forgiving of this, since I plan to roll out StyleVision to several
developers as our primary FO GUI to use with the latest Apache FOP version.

RE: Need help on PDF generation using XSL-FO
we have another requirement of disabling the PRINT, SAVE and EDIT options in the PDF. It looks like we can't disable the PRINT option using XSL-FO. Disabling print and edit are handled by PDF security. Why can't you disable print? I have not tried, but it looks like the PDF security enhancement to FOP has a -noprint flag. See PDF Encryption: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/pdfencryption.html Save is not handled by PDF security and will need to be managed using some other method. To my knowledge no *ware modification to the PDF will disable the user's ability to save. In a previous project I implemented a controlled database solution reporting by popping a PDF to the screen for the user then used an OLE connection to the application to remove all Adobe toolbars and menus.

Re: font-family=Arial Unicode MS in rtf doesn't work
Should be simple enough for someone who wants to get his feet wet... snip FWIW: already did this locally (incl. normalization of sequences of more than one space). It all boils down to an added 35-40 lines of code... As soon as I'm 100% sure that the testcases that now fail, are failing as a result of the previous patch being applied, I'll commit the changes to the Trunk. You almost had me convinced to take a stab at this one! Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would want multiple spaces between words as previously quoted. I can't see how that would be desirable. In my case, I'm using Altova StyleVision to generate XSL-FO files, and obviously that product writes font families as they are declared locally, i.e., with single spaces between words.
