Hello World not working
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP3
Java 1.5.0_16 (used as JAVA_HOME and Path)
Java 1.6.0_11 also present on system
Fop 0.94
Hello:
The Hello World procedure on the Quick Start Guide page produces a preview with where many of the characters are written over each other and the spacing between letters appears to have, well, negative values (they partially overlap)! I didn't find a similar problem mentioned in the FAQ. I can't believe I'm the only one who has seen this!
Command used:
fop -fo examples/fo/basic/readme.fo -awt
Thanks

You're probably the first to try rendering that particular example to
AWT Preview. I just tried this with FOP Trunk on Apple Java 1.5/Mac OS
X 10.5, and the output indeed looks very ugly... PDF output, which is
probably the most widely used, does not suffer from this issue.
Unfortunately no immediate idea on what the cause is. May be related
to the font-metrics (?)
If you want, please open a Bugzilla entry, so we don't lose track of it.
Thanks
Andreas

Very weird indeed! I just tried examples/fo/basic/blockcontainer.fo,
and hit the reload button a couple of times. I get a different result
each time. Never quite correct, though... :-S

Actually, I've seen that effect before but never investigated. BTW, you
can press the refresh button to make the content appear correctly. Not
sure what causes this.
