Re: trunk config, fonts

2003-07-29 Thread Jeremias Maerki
Until recently, the command-line interface of the trunk was basically
ignored due to other priorities. Configuration certainly has changed a
bit, but is obviously unfinished (Gradual move to Avalon Configuration,
inrtoduction of the Confihurable interface, work in progress). IMO it's
low priority to fix the command-line in the trunk. Until we have some
almost-0.20.5-level in layout, the CLI is not very helpful.

 2. In the trunk, the -x command-line option seems to be ignored. Also,
 AFAICT, the -c option appears to be ignored as well. At least custom font
 information seems to be ignored, with no message being logged to tell what
 is going on. (I tested identical setups with the maintenance branch, which
 works, and the trunk, which does not). Have our command-line options and/or
 our configuration file format changed? Or is something broken?

It may not be too much of a loss, but I won't be able to test the trunk 
until either a CLI is implemented, or I learn to run Java applets...

It would be a loss. If you could spare time to test the trunk, you could 
report back on which bits of layout need attention. A sort of gap analysis 
for basic FO documents would be really useful. This in turn would help 
encourage development of the layout.

I have run the trunk code before in an attempt to do this. I believe Victor 
and Jeremias were referring to the fact that you cant specify -c -d etc 
options on command line. You can still run FOP from command line, but FO to 
PDF only.

Right. I have some changes related to custom fonts that I want to submit,
and more I want to make, but it seemed unwise to commit them without being
able to see the before and after results. In other words, we need at least
some basic way of doing regression testing.
