Re: Output from NIST test suite

2004-01-03 Thread Bernd Brandstetter
Hi,

in your GhostScript installation there should also exist a gswin32c.exe 
which runs in console mode and therefore doesn't open a GUI window every 
time.

Bye,
Bernd

 I drive ghostscript with a bash script like this:

 for f in $*; do
  r=${f/.pdf/.png}
  echo $f $r
  gswin32 -q -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m \
   -sOutputFile=$r $f
 done

 and it is quite slow and cause the ghostscript console to flicker and
 grab the focus all the time. Annoying.

 Does anyone here know of a better (and maybe faster) way of using
 ghostscript to convert 615 pdf files to images?

  Hi,
 
  I was looking for xsl-fo test suites on the net and found
   http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/TestSuite/
 
  but for some reason all the test in the NIST zip file uses master-name
  instead of master-reference on the fo:page-sequence's.
 
   fo:page-sequence master-name=test-page-master

 Hi,

 Apparently this was admitted by earlier versions of the spec. Older
 versions of FOP still supported this, but the latest version throws an
 error...

Hi,

wouldn't it be reasonable to also accept the obsolete 'master-name' and to 
just print out a corresponding warning message instead of throwing an 
error? AFAIK, the attribute has only been renamed to 'master-reference', 
but its meaning and usage remained identically the same.

Regards,
Bernd

 Not bad. Something like this I meant. But (sorry for being critical,
 it's art, not coding :): why it's sitting back to us.

No problem :-)
This was in no way meant to be a serious proposal for the logo.

I've also created one with a parrot sitting with it's front to us.
However, I found this one with it's impish look back over the shoulder much 
nicer.

 F and P are too simple.

Maybe. But IMHO the letters FOP should be easily readable and the whole 
logo shouldn't be too overloaded with additional stuff.

 And I'm not sure about scalability - e.g. how it'll look 3cmX2cm?

A vector graphic (preferrably SVG) would of course be better. However, I 
couldn't find a good-looking vectorized parrot clipart.

Regards,
Bernd

 project for one their new containers. I bet they wouldn't be happy to
 hear your association with the name.

 Let's be serious again: What do you think could be improved to make FOP
 easier to get in?

Design documentation :-)
When I clicked on the Architecture and Design links, I had expected a 
bit more than 20 to 30 lines of text. But I must admit that I have totally 
overlooked the Understanding the design section which is a bit more 
verbose.
Still, it would be nice to have something in the style of the Alt design 
description - which I think is really great - for the standard design 
too.

Bernd

 I hope I am not out of line to ask an even more fundamental question --
 do we like our current name? I never have a problem writing it, but when
 speaking it, I cannot make my mouth say fop, but invariably say
 eff-oh-pee instead. Our root FO is a FOrtunate or perhaps FOrtuitous
 one, as there are many English words that start with these letters, and
 probably many more that contain them. FOr(r)est might have been good
 (since we seem to work with trees a lot), but is taken. FOrward, FOcus,
 or even FOreword might each work, or efFOrtless (). How about
 FOliage (with a leaf logo)? Or perhaps a Latin word to reflect our
 international crew -- FOcus (again), or FOrtis, or FOrum. I also like
 Oleg's idea of throwing it out to the user community.

a couple of hours now, FOrtress inevitably comes to my mind ;-)

 work, and the Apache colours were too garish.
