Re: FOP 0.95 fails to compile large PDF files - java heap space

2009-06-07 Thread nancy_b

Hi Andreas,

Thank you a lot for your valuable help!!! I really appreciate that!

I decided not to use workarounds, and wait for the next FOP build. I can
live with these warnings for a while - the main thing is to understand why
they are generated. Could I ask the last question in this long thread
please? Why are the Symbol and Zapfdiongbat fonts unavailable in italic/bold
version? 

Thank you a lot in advance for building fop.jar for me. You are so kind!
:clap:

My best wishes,
Nancy

 Hi Nancy
 
 It seems that getting FOP from the trunk is too complicated for me.  
 When is
 the next binary FOP version due to?
 
 Well, it was initially planned for early this year, but we didn't  
 quite get around to it yet.
 
 
 Regarding what you said about fo:block linefeed- 
 treatment=preserve - I
 have no idea how to translate this into XSL/XML.
 
 I admit, this probably requires a significant level of understanding  
 all the Docbook stylesheets' code...
 
 Meantime, I did some other tests. Bob Stayton suggested the following
 workaround for producing special characters:
 xsl:template match=symb...@role = 'symbolfont']
  fo:inline font-family=Symbol
xsl:call-template name=inline.charseq/
  /fo:inline
 /xsl:template
 
 Personally, as mentioned, I'd make that fo:wrapper instead of  
 fo:inline. fo:inline is really only useful if you need borders or  
 special alignment (sub- or superscript), or if you need margins (which  
 FOP currently does not completely support on inlines anyway). Not that  
 it will have much impact on the result, but the memory consumption  
 should decrease slightly. Every little bit helps there.
 
 So I modified it by adding Zapfdingbats before Symbol, and used  
 symbol role
 = 'symbolfont'#x260E/symbol in my XML. Guess what, it did show  
 the phone
 symbol, but also converted my math symbol into scissors (rrr).
 So, I am sick and tired of this -- the only way out is to wait for  
 bugfix in FOP, am
 I right?
 
 I think so. I'll build a fop.jar off today's trunk, and send it to you  
 off-list, so you can try it out and see if that fares better (although  
 I'd rather not see this becoming a standard practice, I'm always  
 willing to make an exception now and then, until we get the automated  
 snapshots operational again)
 
 
 Regards
 
 Andreas

Hmm... To be honest, I don't know the precise reason. On the other  
hand, I just played with some other Webdings fonts in OS X TextEdit,  
and none of them seem to allow formatting the characters in bold/ 
italic either. What would a user expect as output for a scissor in  
italic or bold?


Main point remains: FOP should probably just silently revert to  
'normal' for the style/weight for those font-families.

No problem at all. To tell you the truth, if one has the environment  
set up correctly, that is just a one-minute job...


Glad to be of help!

Hide a character if it is at the end of a line

2009-06-07 Thread cymoon

Hi,
is there a way to hide a character if it is at the end of a line?

I have two words separated by a semicolon on one line. Like:
; B

If the words become to too long for one line, I would like to hide the
semicolon.
A
B

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks
Jan

Thank you again, dear Andreas!!!

Looking forward to getting the all new fop.jar.:jumping: By the way, I have
two instances of it:
/usr/bin/build/fop.jar (where fop is installed) and 
/usr/share/java/fop.jar

Where should I put the new one?

Best regards,
Nancy

Hi,


 Did you remember to set fop1.extensions = 1?


Where should I set this?.

That depends from where the current one is run. Can you check whether  
they are both really the JARs, and one is not simply a symlink to the  
other?

In theory, yes, but I don't think FOP supports it completely... :/

The FO idiom to achieve what you need would be:

fo:block
  AAAfo:character character=; suppress-at-line-break=true /
  BBB
...
/fo:block

Anywhere, I suppose. Wherever you set your other parameters
(such as double.sided.), or you can set it on your XSLT
processor's command line.

Its true there is a big red NO on the Apache FOP Compliance Page. Even in
the development column.

Re: Unable to write to default external resource group file 'resources.afp'. and Problem with images when the mode is set to color

Hi Andreas,

I have tested it. It is creating the file, if the file does not exist. 
Thank you very much...

 I'll see if I can add a small change that creates the file if it  
 does not exist, before the call to canWrite(). I'll let you know  
 when this is done, so you can update your copy of trunk.
 
 As an interim solution, I have made a change to  
 org.apache.fop.render.afp.AFPRendererConfigurator, and attached the  
 patch in attach.
 
 Before I commit it to the trunk, can you try and apply the patch  
 locally on your end, and report back on whether that eliminates the  
 error message?
 
 
  
 
 Thanks!
