Hi,
1st, this discussion should move to fop-dev list now.
2nd, there is definitively some issues that are due to length handled
as integer (char width you pointed here, i-p-d changes from page to
page because length is rounded when it result in float value (metric
to imperial conversion,
While you may be right Pascal, I'm sure this isn't a good example of a
legitimate use-case. But then what do we use? A long? Then what have we
really done? Realistically we're just moving the boundaries from which FOP
accurately displays text/images etc.. What I'm asking is why would a long
be any
We're digressing from the remit of fop-users, so I've posted to fop-dev.
I must confess, my understanding of the layout-engine side of things is
limited; I don't think I have a full appreciation of the intricacies and
the nuances. Maybe another of the devs will have more constructive
feedback,
The problem is a rounding matter rather than ceiling values.
Try this:
i-p-d1 = 22cm + 1cm (gives 595275mpt)
i-p-d2 = 21cm + 2cm (gives 595274mpt)
i-p-d2 - i-p-d1 will give a non-zero value after conversion to mpt
(with only 2 terms in formula)
For example, that can occur when alternating the
