Hello, Tommy! Sorry for long reply. Could you show me how to build PDF using new FOP version? Please copy-paste couple of lines from your .bash_history. I tried to generate Russian and other variants. All of my efforts was aborted with PDF file size just some bytes. My build platform: - RHEL 4 Update 2 - IBM Java machine from Extras channel - FOP (new version) Regards, Andrew Martynov On Thu, Dec 08, 2005 at 09:22:49PM -0600, Tommy Reynolds wrote: > Hello, all! > > This is a status update.
