Re: Custom TT Fonts not embedded gives garbage
In the meantime, if you like, try cutting some of the jumbled text from your PDF and pasting it into another application. Is the underlying text 1) correct, 2) the same as appears in the PDF, or 3) something else? The last one is true. If I copy and paste to an other application I get only blanks. I can not mark all text in the PDF though. Text on the right side of the page seems to be unaccessible. I generated the metrics file by copying and pasting the command line on the FOP font page. I did not get an error message or something indicating that the metric file generation process encountered a problem. Thanks for your help!

Re: Custom TT Fonts not embedded gives garbage
Please be more specific about garbage. Are you getting all # characters? Are ASCII characters working and nothing else, or is nothing coming through correctly? Can you see any patterns (like an a always comes out as a w)? In my case I get random characters. E.g. where it should say Report Konzern Lieferantendatenbank I get 5 H SRUW . RQ] HU Q / L HI H U D Q W and so on. I do not see a pattern. If there were a pattern it would be hard to recognize because of the many spaces in the output. The type face is correct (Arial).

Re: Generating an Index or Table of Contents
Hello Paul. Does anyone have any ideas on how one might generate an index at the back of a document based on entries contained within the pages of the document. These index entries would need to know the page number of source of the entry. Have a look at fo:page-number-citation. You need all content that should be referenced in your index to have an attribute with a unique value. Write a template that matches that attribute, gets the value of the element as entry for your index and use fo:page-number-citation to obtain the page number. HTH Ralf

Re: Hyphenation
Is there a way to enforce TeX's behavior? Not prepackaged. You are invited to hack around in the files in layout/hyphenation. OK, I did: It is all in org.apache.fop.layout.LineArea.java. I altered the hyphenation strategie as follows: If there is a hyphen in a word and the character data before the hyphen will fit into the current line, hyphenation will be done at the existing hyphen and nowhere else in the word. If there is a hyphen but not enough space left do not hyphenate at all except for the case when this word is the first in a line (-the column/cell is not wide enough to hold the word in one piece). In the latter case fall back to the standard hyphenation strategie. There is also a bug (I think) in LineArea: If the word to be hyphenated is the first in a line an additional space is put in front of it. I tried to solve it by not assigning a 'space' as a spacer but a zero width space (\u200B) in this case. But I still end up with a visible space in the PDF document. I will post my LineArea.java as soon as I have it cleaned up a bit. :-) Ralf

Hyphenation
Hi everybody. Is FOP supposed to behave the same as (La)TeX does when evaluating the hyphenation patterns? The problem I have is with words already containing a hyphen character. Such words are hyphenated in TeX at no other position. For example 'Leinfelden-Echterdingen', 'Leinfelden--Echterdingen' and 'Leinfelden Echterdingen' are hyphenated: Leinfelden-Echterdingen; Leinfelden--Echterdingen; Lein-fel-den Ech-ter-din-gen. FOP seems to ignore the hyphen in 'Leinfelden-Echterdingen' and hyphenates like 'Leinfelden-Echter-dingen', for example. Is there a way to enforce TeX's behavior? TIA Ralf Steppacher

page-number-citation and break-before
Hi all. I encountered a problem using a break-before=page in a block that is referenced by a page-number-citation in my TOC. My document contains several chapters and inside every block element containing a Headline I set the break-before=page attribute. These blocks are referenced by a page-number-citation and everything works fine but for the last chapter where no no page number shows up in my TOC. If I leave out the break-before or use a break-after=page in the last block of the last but one chapter the page-number is present. Is this a bug or are there some deeper reasons why the page number can not be calculated in the case of the last page enforced by a break-before? Thanks in advance. Ralf Steppacher

Re: Border a row?
I'm trying to border a row in a table by using following properties : fo:table-row border-color=silver border-width=0.5mm border-style=solid fo:table-cell fo:blockN/A/fo:block /fo:table-cell ... /fo:table-row But, It doesn't work ? What I miss? Did you set border-collapse=collapse or border-collapse=collapse-with-precedence for your table? If you have not, border properties can not be applied to table-rows and you have to generate your border on the cell level. See the specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_table-row: NOTE: Only the background properties from this set apply. If the value of border-collapse is collapse or collapse-with-precedence for the table the border properties also apply. HTH Ralf
Re: page-masters for different 1st page

Re: Attribute's effect in nested fo:inline
I am using FOP 0.20.2. I am having a problem while applying 'text-decoration' and 'vertical-align' attributes to a nested fo:inline. I have some text content in the inner fo:inline where the effect of the above attributes is not being seen, when they are specified in the outer fo:inline. If content is in the fo:inline where the attributes are specified, things are working fine. The XSL spec says that both text-decoration and vertical-align are not inherited (http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice7.html#vertical-align). So FOP just sticks to the rules... Ralf

Re: Basic-link problem in JSPs
First of all: Thank you very much for your help! fo:basic-link internal-destination=addressListHeading fo:page-number-citation color=blue ref-id=addressListHeading/ /fo:basic-link This is the real problem. You probably noticed that the link area is not the whole page number, in particular with multiple digit page numbers. Yes, that is right. I will follow your advise and use the headline text as link area. Your style sheet appear to be a bit more convoluted than usual. Some other hints: xsl:template match=address_list/row/* mode=address_list xsl:choose xsl:when test=local-name()='ZIP_CODE_CITY' xsl:call-template name=plzOrtRow If this comes directly from your original style sheet, you should better use matching precise templates instead of piping everything into a match-all and then use a choose in it. Is this just a matter of style or do exact templates perform better? There is not all that much value in abstracting really low-level stuff like table cell generation. Hm, I generate quite a lot of cells (the document contains only tables) and thought that a template for generating cells would reduce filesize and improve readability of the stylesheet. Thanks for your hints!!! Ralf
Re: Blank pages
I wasn't precise enough in my first posting. Next try... I wonder how I can procude legal empty pages (and then suppress them)? Forced blank pages are mainly created by page count constraints, for example a break-before=odd-page will insert a page break [..]. My empty page results from missing content in the source XML file if the user does not select at least one topic on the web page to be rendered as pdf. The cover sheet with (an empty) TOC is generated OK by the stylesheet. Now the main content should be selected and put into the flow of a second page master: fo:page-sequence-master ... fo:page-sequence-master master-name=PageMasterTwo fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference=PageMasterTwoOne blank-or-not-blank=not-blank/ fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference=PageMasterTwoTwo blank-or-not-blank=blank/ /fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives ... /fo:page-sequence-master fo:page-sequence master-reference=PageMasterTwo ... static content ... fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body xsl:apply-templates select=company_info/ xsl:apply-templates select=address_list/ ... other templates ... /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence The problem arises if there are no nodes company_info, address_list, etc.: The FO produced is an empty flow. fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body/ I thought this would result in an empty page and my page master with condition blank would be selected. Instead I get the error message from FOP (see my first posting). I played a bit with the fo and got the results stated in my first posting. Thanks again! Ralf

Re: Spaces and precedence
Hi. Here is the (pruned) FO I get as an result of my xsl transformation. What I wanted to do was suppress additional space between two headlines that directly follow each other. fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body !-- preceeding blocks -- !-- block one -- fo:block break-before=page id=h1_6 space-before=50pt space-after=20pt space-after.precedence=1 7.Leistungsspektrum /fo:block !-- block two -- fo:block space-before.minimum=0pt space-before.precedence=2 id=h2_1 space-after=20pt space-before=50pt 7.1 Einzelplatzscanner /fo:block !-- succeeding blocks -- /fo:flow Block one := A Block two := B My understanding of the spec: A and B are stackable areas, have no borders or padding and are not reference-areas (block-progression-direction inherited from parent, no indents specified). A and B have a block stacking constraint S according to rule 3a. in chapter 4.2.5 Space Resolution: S1 := space-after=20pt precedence=1 S2 := space-before=50pt precedence=2 S'' := S1 and S2 In this case: S' == S'' because S'' does not contain line-area traits. The resolved space-specifier S would suppress S1 because it has a lower precedence than S2 (point 3 in 4.3.1). Do I get that right? FOP would not suppress anything and just add all spaces. TIA! Ralf
