OK, so I better understand... As a workaround to this FOP issue, try launching XSL Utility from a Command Prompt window: chdir "path\to\your\xml\document\directory" java -jar "path\to\XFC\installation\directory\xfc.jar" Awful, isn't it?

The XFC_HOME variable - as its name implies - specifies the location of the XFC distribution, and is only used by the command-line executable (fo2rtf.bat). > I include below the output from the converter just in case you see anything > that might be fixable.

Well, neither have we... I'll try to further investigate when I get the chance. -- Jean-Yves Belmonte <john at pixware.fr> - Pixware <http://www.pixware.fr> Le Capricorne - 23 rue Colbert - 78180 Montigny-le-Bretonneux - France voice: +33 (0)1.30.60.07.00 - fax: +33 (0)1.30.96.05.23
