[jira] [Commented] (FOP-2728) Persian (Farsi) output problem with FOP

["Glenn Adams (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2728?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16088846#comment-16088846 ] 

Glenn Adams commented on FOP-2728:
----------------------------------

Try removing the language="fa" attribute (in order to have the font engine use default font tables). If that doesn't work, then it may be due to your use of an untested font "FreeFarsi". See [1] for list of tested fonts. N.B. that I have done no testing on Farsi targeted fonts to date; only Arabic.

> We are having trouble making Persian (Farsi) language output with FOP.
> We are using the *xmlto* script with the --with-fop option to convert a DocBook file to PDF using FOP, which uses XSLT to first make a FO file, and then FOP to convert to PDF. We used the --noclean option to capture the intermediate FO XML file.
> We have verified that the Persian (Farsi) characters are readable in the DocBook and FO files. However, when we generate the PDF, the output is not readable. There are both _joined_ and _separated_ letters in Persian (Farsi) language but the output in PDF format has just separated ones.
> Note that there are some font issues in the PDF output as well -- missing glyphs -- those show as # characters, and are in the chapter/section headings. However, the main body of the text has no # characters, and it still has this problem.
> *Attachments:*
> * sample-output.zip contains small.docbook, small.fo, small.epub and small.pdf. The final output of PDF should be similar to EPUB.
> * sample-output-full.zip contains guide.epub and guide.pdf which are the complete documents but with wrong rendering of characters in PDF.
