[Christian Geisert <ch...@isu-gmbh.de>]

Hi all,

just in case someone hasn't noticed yet ;-)


FOP 0.20.3 is finally available at http://xml.apache.org/dist/fop
for downloading.

The main reason for this release is the conformance to the XSL-FO
Version 1.0 W3C Recommendation. Other changes include:

- support for CMYK and embedded ICC profiles in jpeg images
- support for EPS images
- improved font encodings for native (Acrobat) fonts
- i18n improvments for AWT viewer
- support for letter-spacing
- Polish, Greek, and Hungarian hyphenation
- and of course a lot of bugfixes...


Changes from previous Release Candidate (rc2):
- added missing japanese resource for AWT viewer
- fixed Markers
- updated logkit from 1.0b4 to 1.0


Enjoy,
Christian

external-graphic src syntax

[Michael Engelhart <me...@earthtrip.com>]

Can someone show me the syntax to using
<fo:external-graphic>??

I have an image in the same directory as the stylsheet and have tried 
this syntax:

<fo:block text-align="center">
     <fo:external-graphic src="logo.jpg"/>
</fo:block>

this syntax:

<fo:block text-align="center">
     <fo:external-graphic src="file:./logo.jpg"/>
</fo:block>

this syntax:
<fo:block text-align="center">
     <fo:external-graphic src="file://./logo.jpg"/>
</fo:block>


and none of them work.  I always get this error:
[ERROR]: Error while creating area : Error with image URL: ./logo.jpg 
(No such file or directory) and no base directory is specified


I have compared this to the images.fo example document as well as the 
W3C XSL spec and it doesn't work.
I can sort of get it to work using an external url like 
"http://somewhere.com/logo.jpg" but when I do it that way my application 
hangs and never comes back.

any ideas??

Maybe it will be better to use Commons Logging package inside fop
instead of Avalon LogKit - somebody may configure Logging to
use LogKit, somebody to use Log4j.

Re: Logger not set

Hi all,

Does it matter if I just ignore setting the logger?  I already have an 
application built around using Log4J and it seems silly to instantiate 
another logging system just to output 3 lines every time I run FOP.   I 
just want to make sure that there isn't anything  critical to the 
setLogger method

thanks
Mike

Hi all,

Does it matter if I just ignore setting the logger?  I already have an 
application built around using Log4J and it seems silly to instantiate 
another logging system just to output 3 lines every time I run FOP.   I 
just want to make sure that there isn't anything  critical to the 
setLogger method
