Re: Unicode fonts Re: issues with TTFReader

Thanks Justus,

I went for DejaVu Serif, but I am not so fond (font?) of it, since 
that is a pretty wide font.
I have a three column layout with sometimes long words and the page 
view is not that nice with DejaVu.
As long as I did not find a better alternative, it suits my requirements

In my search of alternatives, I looked after your suggestions, and I 
have some comments on that

STIX is still in Beta, so I can't sell it to my customer as a production font

Gentium does support some Greek and Cyrillic, but too little Cyrillic 
for my purposes (and the Cyrillic also is documented as 'in beta')
I also did not find "bold" and "bold italic" fonts in the package

So, my hunt for better is still open

cheers

Geert

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your answer.

I am happy this is a recognised bug, so I don't need to look further.

I can't use trunk, since I need to install this with a customer,
and "trunk" is not considered "stabile"

I will try your suggestion of making the marker not empty but invisible.
Thank you very much for that suggestion

cheers

Geert

Is indeed a bug in 0.95 or earlier.
Try FOP Trunk if you can. There was an issue with empty markers, but  
that has been fixed in the meantime.

Also, making the marker contain an invisible character (ZWSP) should  
be enough to sidestep the issue.

HTH!

bug in marker processing?

Posted by Geert Bormans <ge...@gbormans.telenet.be>.
Dear all,

I have hit something that seems to me a bug in FOP.

Is this a known bug?
And if yes, is there a known workaround?

I am listing columns with dictionary terms.
Terms can have long descriptions.
If a term continues to the next page, I need to add an arrow in the footer

This is my region after

       <fo:static-content flow-name="mt-region-after">
          <fo:block font-size="8pt" text-align-last="justify"> 
<fo:leader leader-pattern="space"/>
             <fo:page-number/>
             <fo:leader leader-pattern="space"/>
             <fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="right-arrow" 
retrieve-position="last-starting-within-page"/>
          </fo:block>
       </fo:static-content>

This is an excerpt of a term

          <fo:block padding-bottom="2mm">
             <fo:block>
                <fo:inline font-size="8pt" font-weight="bold">my 
little term</fo:inline>
             </fo:block>
             <fo:block keep-with-previous="always">
                <fo:marker marker-class-name="this-term">my little 
term</fo:marker>
                <fo:marker marker-class-name="right-arrow">?</fo:marker>
             </fo:block>
             <fo:list-block margin-left="3mm" space-before="0pt" 
space-after="0pt">
                <fo:list-item>
                   <fo:list-item-label>
                      <fo:block line-height="1.0">
                         <fo:inline font-size="8pt">AA</fo:inline>
                      </fo:block>
                   </fo:list-item-label>
                   <fo:list-item-body start-indent="10mm">
                      <fo:block line-height="1.0">
                         <fo:inline font-size="8pt" 
font-style="italic">aaaaa</fo:inline>
                      </fo:block>
                   </fo:list-item-body>
                </fo:list-item>
             </fo:list-block>
             <fo:list-block margin-left="3mm" space-before="0pt" 
space-after="0pt">
                <fo:list-item>
                   <fo:list-item-label>
                      <fo:block line-height="1.0">
                         <fo:inline font-size="8pt">BB</fo:inline>
                      </fo:block>
                   </fo:list-item-label>
                   <fo:list-item-body start-indent="10mm">
                      <fo:block line-height="1.0">
                         <fo:inline font-size="8pt">bbbbbbbbb</fo:inline>
                      </fo:block>
                   </fo:list-item-body>
                </fo:list-item>
             </fo:list-block>
             <fo:block keep-with-previous="always">
                <fo:marker marker-class-name="right-arrow"/>
             </fo:block>
          </fo:block>

In my opinion, I make the marker empty when a term ends on a page 
(see the keep-with-previous)

In Antenna House, this works.
In FOP, I get the arrows, always, which seems wrong to me.
any suggestions?

Thanks

Geert
