    Posted 10-24-2007 09:43

    Hi DocBook gurus,

    In June this year my colleague built FOP 0.94 from the binary that was
    available then. Wordwrapping in Japanese which was a problem with FOP0.93
    was resolved with that. I see now that FOP 0.94 has been released. Do you
    know whether the released FOP 0.94 addresses wordwrapping in Japanese? Does
    it show bullet points in Japanese?

    My problem now is that I find that the current build isn't wordwrapping any
    more. I haven't been working with docbook for a little while.

    A change that has taken place is that we are now using xsl version 2.0 as
    oppposed to 1.92.

    I am wondering whether applying the released FOP 0.94 would resolve the
    issue, without affecting the build in English.

    Your advice will be most welcome.

    You probably mean he built a binary from a checkout of the Trunk.

    Well if it worked fine in June, that should also work in the released
    0.94 version. Nothing changed in this area meanwhile. The feature you’re
    refering to is probably the implementation of UAX#14: in short, proper
    line breaking depending on the kind of characters found on the line.

    Depends on what you exactly mean by bullet points ;-)

    Not sure what you’re talking about here.

    Well the build in English should certainly work well. Regarding your
    wordwrapping issue for Japanese I suggest you to provide details on the
    fop-users mailing list [1], as it is more appropriate to discuss FOP
    related issues. Please describe your problem thoroughly (people there
    aren’t Japanese specialists), attach an FO file resulting from the
    transformation of the DocBook source, and possibly a screenshot of the
    rendering you’re expecting.
