Re: Including PDF graphics?
I'm not a PDF expert, but here's a paragraph from a man page: epstopdf transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile so that it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate, and it sets a page size exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox. This means that when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs no cropping, and the PDF Medi- aBox is correct. The result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version written. This is what I use with PDFLaTeX and PassiveTeX to put vector graphics into PDF documents. Relying on EPS for graphics in PDF documents sort-of defeats the point of PDF. It seems to me that it should be fairly easy to include PDF graphics support in FOP, no? Justus J.Pietschmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Fri, 05 Dec 2003 19:52:58 +0100: Justus H.

To me this is a serious shortcoming, as there does not appear to be a way to include existing EPS or PDF graphics in a FOP-generated document, and show the result in acroread. FOP can include EPS graphis, but Acrobat reader wont display them (that's mainly a restriction of AcrobatReader, not FOP, a PS printer will print them even from Acrobat Reader). What's a PDF graphic?

printing of bmp images
Hello List, I try to print a .bmp on w2k / XP with fop 0.20.5rc2, without success. Trying the following fo-code, shows only the gif. Both files are in the base directory an are less than 1kb. fo:block text-align=left BMP fo:external-graphic src=file:test1.bmp/ /fo:block fo:block text-align=left GIF fo:external-graphic src=file:test1.gif/ /fo:block I found on http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#bmp the notice: FOP native support for BMP images is limited to the RGB color-space. Is this my problem ? How can I check this ? I can provide the Image I used for testing. In real Applictaion I would create the Image with the following Code: hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc); //' Call DSCreateDIBSection() from the DLL. //' You can use the desired BPP in the last parameter(for example, 24) DibSection = DSCreateDIBSection(width, height, 24); hOldBitmap = SelectObject(hdcMem, DibSection); Ret = StretchBlt(hdcMem, 0, 0, width, height, hdc, 0, 0, width, height, SRCCOPY); hOldBitmap = SelectObject(hdcMem, hOldBitmap); //' Call DSStoreDIBSectionInBMPFile() from the DLL. //' Add error handling.

Font characters showing up as pound signs

Problems with absolute positiones block container
Hello, Following problem: I have a table and under this table a block container with absolute positioning. When the table get so long that there isn't enough space for the content of the block container it doesn't make a page break before the block container but it writes the content over the last table rows. Is there any idea how to avoid this? Thank you Britta - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Font characters showing up as pound signs
John/Chris I am not sure I am using the correct decimal code for the glyph. The one I think I want is x0113 (an e with a straight line over it going horizontal). However based on what Chris gave me, that is the right one. How do I tell if the font contains the glyph I need? (the font came from windows and I see the character in windows. the font.xml file came from that windows font). For the arial.xml file, I see that it says last-char is 255. The HTML character representation for what I need is #275; That could be the problem?

RE: Font characters showing up as pound signs
Andeas I read about the problems with fonts so I did encode things as WinAnsi. The statement As shown in the above table, regardless of whether the font is embedded or not, text generated from a CID-keyed font metrics file will never be encoded properly led me to believe that *is* the right thing to do. Is WinAnsi bad? Yes, I did use -enc ansi option when I generated the metrics file. John also asked earlier about specifying the font in the stylesheet. Yes, I believe I am doing that... xsl:template match=transliteration fo:inline font-family=Arial color=red xsl:apply-templates/ /fo:inline /xsl:template Probably created the metrics with WinAnsi encoding instead of CID-keyed. (check: http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html#truetype-metrics) Did you, by any chance, use the '-enc' option on the command-line when generating the TTF metrics? --- Ben Spencer Web Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] x 2288 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
