	Oriental Characters by Michael Halpin-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Is there a way to use oriental characters like Arabic or Hebrew in FOP? I have tried a few tests but the PDF output just shows the characters as ####. Thanks, Michael ____________________ In the event that I am arrested for being a domestic enemy of the state, you should know that it is not true, and I will be back in the office just as soon as they reinstate Habeas Corpus.

In theory, yes. In practice, FOP is still severely limited when it comes to different writing-modes (see also Bugzilla #42307, which attempts to fix the issue for Java2D-based renderers) > I have tried a few tests but the PDF output just shows the > characters as ####. This is most likely because you're either using one of the default fonts, or a custom font that simply has no glyphs for Arabic characters. Note that the lack of support for those languages in FOP is mainly due to a lack of knowledge within the team. So far, we still haven't succeeded in attracting Java-XML-geeks who are also fluent in Arabic or Hebrew... Patches welcome, as well as accurate bug-reports, with examples and descriptions of how exactly FOP is supposed to behave.

	RE: Oriental Characters by Pascal Sancho :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Michael, To complete what Andreas said, I've tried the bugzilla patch that permit to use right-to-left writing mode, but character shaping (i.e. inner word ligatures) is still not supported, witch is required for Arabic (I don't know about Hebrew).
