Always good to hear when someone wants to contribute. TrueType support
for AFP will certainly be handy.
I can't give you technical advice on the AFP stuff because I'm only
a newbie there. But from the procedural point of view:

So far FOP does not do any media or paper tray selection in the
supported output formats. Only PostScript output has an extension that
allows to insert PostScript code to do media selection. With the arrival
of PCL and AFP output formats, this topic gains new importance.

Using the master-name approach instead of including printer-specific
commands adds flexibility for media and paper tray selection. The only
thing that will be useful is a parameter to FOP and/or an extension
value in XSL-FO which specifies the actualy

I'm sorry Jeremias, your arguments here have failed to convince me that
your suggested approach is the best way. I'm still in favour of using
extension elements for PS, PCL and AFP. It should be possible to add the

As you've already mentioned in PS there is more than one way of
specifying tray selection. So assuming one particular way (/MediaType)
would be rather limiting in my

Yes I agree that /MediaType is the most widely used way, but we have
customers out there using /MediaPosition too. The bit I don't understand

[snip stuff which reminds me on reinventing TeX/DVI]
Using the page master name to map onto output media suggests that
different page flows could be printed on different media. Is this
correct?
