--------------------------------
Summary: Persian (Farsi) output problem with FOP
Key: FOP-2728
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2728
Project: FOP
Issue Type: Bug
Components: renderer/pdf
Affects Versions: 2.1
Environment: Ubuntu 16.04 with xmlto 0.0.28
Reporter: Navid Emami
Attachments: sample-output-final.zip, sample-output.zip
We are having trouble making Persian (Farsi) language output with FOP.
We are using the *xmlto* script with the --with-fop option to convert a DocBook
file to PDF using FOP, which uses XSLT to first make a FO file, and then FOP to
convert to PDF. We used the --noclean option to capture the intermediate FO XML
file.
We have verified that the Persian (Farsi) characters are readable in the
DocBook and FO files. However, when we generate the PDF, the output is not
readable. There are both _joined_ and _separated_ letters in Persian (Farsi)
language but the output in PDF format has just separated ones.
Note that there are some font issues in the PDF output as well -- missing
glyphs -- those show as # characters, and are in the chapter/section headings.
However, the main body of the text has no # characters, and it still has this
problem.
*Attachments:*
* sample-output.zip contains small.docbook, small.fo, small.epub and small.pdf.
The final output of PDF should be similar to EPUB.
* sample-output-full.zip contains guide.epub and guide.pdf which are the
complete documents but with wrong rendering of characters in PDF.
