OT: printing on linux
Can anyone provide any pointers for printing FOP output on Linux? I'm struggling to find a general solution for printing FOP output from Linux that works on enough different printers - or is there a minimum hardware requirement? PCL seems to work most of the time, but some files produce garbage on some printers consistently, while very similar files work on the same printer (no idea why). PS PDF require drivers won't print landscape correctly as is (portrait clipped or shrunk). Feeding PDF through acroread printing the resultant landscape ps works, but on some printers some files print Error: /undefined in eartomark, while other ps files generated the same way print out OK on the same printer. I haven't tried fop -print or -svg yet : any comments? Regards, Roland - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
AW: AW: PDF: no border, file name
Uups, my mistake. But I wonder why border attributes are defined for fo:region-body but must be 0.?

September 2004 22:31 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Re: AW: PDF: no border, file name It is true that border attributes are defined for fo:region-body but if you read the whole chapter 6.4.13, you will find the following sentence: In version 1.0 of this Recommendation, the values of the padding and border-width traits must be 0. This has the effect that fo:region-body may not have a border (if I read that correctly).

Re: [work] Re: Avery labels
This is not only not very academic, it's plain ugly, error-prone, violates XML concepts and works only if you don't connect XSLT and FOP using SAX. You should NEVER do something like that.

The problem is that on Chinese if I have text that has Chinese characters they are replaced with '#' characters, and I can figure no way around this…. So. Digging around I see that I need to embed fonts, but How do I do this programmatically? Create the font metrics XML for your TrueType fonts as described here: http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html Then use the userconfig.xml as described here: http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html#config-external It's probably best to try on the command-line first and then port the whole thing into Java How do I do this so it works on Windows and Linux? Don't worry about that. It works the same way on both platforms. That's because FOP uses its own font subsystem for PDF and PS output. Would be nice if I could just specify font-family, and it would all work, but guess I'm dreaming. will try walking through the problem from the command line as you suggested. No dreaming, that's the plan. It just didn't happen, yet.

Table borders
Has anyone got an example of a table that prints out its borders. Ive used a table example from the Apache website but I dont get any borders shown in the output pdf. In addition I have specified the border-start-color, border-top-width, etc to try and force a border to show but with no result. Any ideas? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Table column widths
The next chapter in my attempt to get my tables converted. Ive set up some column widths at the front of my table but they do not appear to be reflected in the finished document. The columns are set up as: fo:table table-layout=fixed width=267mm fo:table-column column-width=14mm/fo:table-column column-width=28mm /fo:table-column column-width=42mm /fo:table-column column-width=83mm /fo:table-column column-width=20mm /fo:table-column column-width=20mm /fo:table-column column-width=20mm /fo:table-column column-width=20mm /fo:table-column column-width=20mm / I tried with the table-layout attribute as fixed as well with the same non result. The columns do not appear to be exactly equally spaced. The first column being twice the size of the last five, which is not what I asked for. It does appear that the requested column widths have been overridden in favour of some default guestimate calculation. Once again, does anyone have a good example of some xsl-fo with column widths that work? Mark - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
