The first line of an XML file is the XML declaration. ?xml version=1.0? You can declare an encoding there: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? UTF-8 ist the default encoding, so the two declarations are equivalent. Every XML parser has to understand UTF-8 and UTF-16, most understand other encodings, like ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1). and how i know the type of encoding that i use? There is no way to diagnose this remotely, you have to know this by yourself. Most editors only know native encoding, some of the more recent provide for choosing an encoding while saving. actually i want to use Thai encoding, but i don't know from where i get the encoding type for the Thai. In general, you don't have to. If you have an editor which natively supports entering Thai characters, check the documentation or whatever configuration settings the editor has for the encoding used. Set the encoding name in the XML declaration and hope the XML parser understands it (if not, you'll get an error). If you can choose the encoding, prefer UTF-8 or UTF-16. If you have an ASCII editor, you can use XML character references for entering Thai characters. You just wont see Thai glyphs on the screen. The Thai characters start at Unicode code point U+0E00, you can use 0x0E01; etc. J.Pietschmann
How do I learn to understand the W3 XSL Recommendation?
Hello all. I have looked at various sources to understand xsl-fo, and have had quite a lot of success in actually getting FOP to produce usable results. However, I am now embarking on evaluation of various engines (including FOP) that leads me to believe that I should understand the W3 Recommendation in its more technical aspects better. I find it very tough going. Is that a source (maybe a mailing list archive) that anyone has found particularly useful in this regard? - Dave Penton -

Re: Problem with not stroking SVG text (AND BUG IN FOP 0.20.3)
try using: addTranscodingHint you are removing transocding hints with the setTranscodingHints. The hint has a StringKey as the key and a Boolean as the value.

So, KEY_STROKE_TEXT should probably be a BooleanKey!? 1) There seem to be two ways to configure text stroking. What's the difference and which is the preferred way? One is for FOP, ie converting fo to pdf. The other is for batik, converting svg to pdf.

Re: Problem with image resolution in FOP
Hi, This is my fault. I did not make it clear that I was generating barcodes via an API (IDAutomation actually) that generates images. I already tried to give fixed values to content-width and content-height but the printed results looks awkward. It seems that the scaling algorithm downgrades the barcode quality. I am currently investigating : - SVG as you mentionned but I do not see how I can use it to take a bitmap image as input (I looked at it very quickly on Friday, so I need to get back to it).- The use of a dedicated font. Thanks for your help again. Pascal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Do you know if it is possible to generate SVG from a bitmapped graphic (GIF or JPEG. The API i use does not generate SVG unfortunately). I shall give a try at SVG (if I can embed or convert the barcode image). Oops, I got the impression you generated your barcodes as SVG, because you fiddled with an SVG class. If you use a bitmap format, simply put width and height on the fo:external-graphic element to scale it to the size tou want to have. Use any bitmap size you want, it will be scaled. This may give artifacts on low resolution screens, print it for final judgement. If you want to be sure that it is mapped to the printer without rounding artifacts, use an image width so that image-pixel-width/fo-width divides the printer resolution, for example printer: 600 dpi suggested resolution: 300 dpi width on paper output: 5.08 cm (2 inch) use 300 dpi*2inch=600 pixel width Each pixel of your bitmap will then be printed using 2 printer pixels (hopefully). I am also considering the use of a barcode font. On the project for which I am working, they used a barcode font in order to produce small but still high quality barcodes). I wondered if it is possible to do such a thing with FOP (I have seen somewhere in FOP samples that it was supposedly possible but I have not yet given it a try). It is possible, at least in theory. Get a font, and look into docs/htmnl/docs/fonts.html for how to use it with FOP. Unfortunately, barcodes are not unicode characters, and font importing sometimes fails because the font files do not contain an unicode mapping. J.Pietschmann

XSLT for HTML to XSLT for XSL:FO
Hi, I have large number of xsl style sheet used to generate HTML pages from original XMLs. Now there is a requirement to generate PDF for each of these HTML pages. One thought is to use a seperate XSL to transform the XSLs used for HTML generation to XSLs can be used to generate XSL:FO from orginal XML. My question is that is there such a XSL already exists anywhere?
