docbook-apps

Thanks for all the previous help. I have just downloaded and unpacked
fop-0.94 to a directory and am trying to run fop on my saxon-created .fo
file. This is the message I get:

redpoint:~/docbook/fop-0.94 mark$ ./fop /Users/mark/myfile.fo
/Users/mark/myfile.pdf
Jan 6, 2008 4:27:30 PM org.apache.fop.hyphenation.HyphenatorgetHyphenationTree
SEVERE: Couldn't find hyphenation pattern en

My understanding is that the English language hyphenation does not have to
be downloaded separately and that the shell script fop sets its own
CLASSPATH, so I don't have to. I'm looking for the problem, but decided to
throw this out to the list in hopes that someone can save me hours of
puzzling the out.

Thanks,
Mark

It used to be true in the past, but it no longer is. Where did you find
such an indication? There is probably some documentation to update
somewhere.
Have a look a the following page:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/hyphenation.html
Basically you have to download the hyphenation patterns from another
website and put the fop-hyph.jar file you get in the build/ directory of
your FOP installation. This separate process is necessary because of
licensing issues (hyphenation patterns may not be distributed with FOP).

HTH,
Vincent
