ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND· INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40288 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What|Removed |Added Severity|normal |critical --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-08-19 07:50 --- (In reply to comment #0) A file:// url in the base element in fopconfig.xml must end with a slash on Linux. If it does not, images (specified by url(foo) where foo is a relative file name) won't be found and will thus not be added to the PDF. FOP should probably either accept both ways to specify the url or display an ERROR that refers to this setting. This would make it much easier to debug this problem. Well, this is the normal behavior of URLs (and more generally URIs). When resolving a relative reference against a base URI, all the characters of the base URI which are to the right of the rightmost slash are removed, and replaced by the relative path: file://path/to/images + myImage.png - file://path/to/myImage.png file://path/to/images/ + myImage.png - file://path/to/images/myImage.png So the ending slash is important! The best Fop can do IMO is display the full resolved URI in the error message, so that the user immediately sees that there is something wrong with URI resolution. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

This could be documented on the configuration web page. There could also be more info about debugging a configuration file, and about debugging the font setup.
