Embedded OCR Font not embedding
Hello, I have followed the steps to set up for embedding an OCR font (True Type). The document generates fine (on our web server) and I can see the OCR fonts on one PC, but not on others. I think the PC that shows the font correctly is the one on which I initially built the userconfig file. I expected this font to be embedded in the PDF file so that it does not need to be installed on each target pc. Am I missing something in the setup? The font section of my userconfig is below.

RE: Embedded OCR Font not embedding
Never mind on my previous append - the font was not installed on the server, so the embed failed. Apologies... -Original Message- From: Thibodeaux, Paul Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 9:21 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Embedded OCR Font not embedding Hello, I have followed the steps to set up for embedding an OCR font (True Type).

Float or alternative
Any idea on when FLOAT will be implemented? Are there other ways to nicely float text around an image to get a professional looking docuemnt? Thanks, Paul Thibodeaux
Generating an Index or Table of Contents
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. This appears to be a little more advanced for what FOP currently offers, but I do not see references to this in the XSLFO specifications either. Thanks, Paul
Some seemingly simple Formatting Questions
I'm relatively new to using FOP. I've got a document working fairly well, but am having a difficult time doing a few things that I would have thought to be simple. 1. Cannot set the TOP MARGIN of a xsl-region-before. Setting it to anything is ignored and the data is always printed at the very top of the page. fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before margin-top=2cm margin-left=2cm margin-right=2cm 2. Cannot set the FONT of a fo:retrieve-marker used in a xsl-region-before. It seems to ignore my font setting and always print the same size. fo:block keep-together=auto font-size=8pt fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name=mrkState retrieve-boundary=page retrieve-position=first-starting-within-page/ /fo:block 3. Cannot set the height of a fo:leader to a small amount. The output is always preceeded by more white space than is desired. fo:block fo:leader leader-pattern=rule space-after.optimum=4pt space-before=0pt line-height=1pt/ /fo:block 4. Problem using keep-with-next across page and column breaks of multi-column pages. Thanks to Chuck Paussa, I made great headway on better controlling KEEPS in a multi-column document by putting the data in TABLE CELLS. The KEEP-TOGETHER seems to work fine within TABLE cells; however, the KEEP-WITH NEXT does not appear to work. Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul Thibodeaux
