Rendering ZWJ (x200D) for Devanagari joints.
Hello,
I am trying to produce a pdf document in Sanskrit based on a docbook
source. I use Xalan (with -p body.font.family "'chandas'") to generate an
fo file, as well as an html, and then fop to convert the fo into pdf.
The html file seems to be correct, in that they render the following
characters as a joint character: िश्च
(see fop.png, which is the fo file seen with Firefox in Linux).
The pdf file, however, doesn't seem to be correct. (see pdf.png)
I would appreciate any help on the topic.
Thanks,
Matt
Note:
(1) I use fop-0.93 on a Linux 2.6.20 64bit (gentoo), with sun-jdk-1.5.0.11
(2) I have registered the chandas.ttf (see http://www.sanskritweb.org/cakram/) with fop:
<font metrics-url="file:///usr/local/fop/conf/chandas.xml"
kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///usr/local/share/fonts/devanagari/chandas.ttf">
<font-triplet name="chandas" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
(3) Running fop `/usr/local/fop/fop -c /usr/local/fop/conf/fop.xconf utf8.fo
-pdf utf8.pdf` produces several warnings:
matt@blacktiger ~ $ /usr/local/fop/fop -c /usr/local/fop/conf/fop.xconf

Thank you Manuel.
Now that I have my language corrected (glyph merging and such), I see that
I could have found the answer at
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html
... and that you've been answering a few of these questions .... ;-)
Thanks for your answer.
Matt

Matt,
sorry but fop doesn't support advanced unicode features like like
normalization, glyph merging and substitution, etc.. Any help to
improve that area would be most welcome.
BTW, when I look at the fo in firefox (Linux and Windows) I get a
display much more similar to the pdf.png than your fop.png.
