Summary: fop does support fontsets properly
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506646
Summary: fop does support fontsets properly Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: fop AssignedTo: langel@redhat.com ReportedBy: petersen@redhat.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: langel@redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs@redhat.com, fitzsim@fitzsim.org Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Target Release: ---
Description of problem: It is a long-standing problem that publican books can be generated correctly for Indic since Indic (Indian) fonts do not include ASCII glyphs.
If fop was able to fallback to fonts or better use pango or some similar font abstraction to isolate the hardcoding of fonts from fop itself then this would just work. This requires some work upstream I guess but I would like to track this here in the open for fedora.

--- Comment #2 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com 2009-10-01 20:18:31 EDT --- Wed May 27 05:14:58 2009 rbhalera@redhat.com: "The problem with fop is not just that of per-glyph font selection. At some place in publican, two fonts are declared for Chinese text. Not sure if that works correctly or not. The same setup for Hindi fonts did not work. Instead I actually used 'Sarai' font in the configuration in place of lohit. Sarai includes glyphs for both hindi and latin text. This solved the problem for english text. If at all per-glyph selection is not a quick fix, this approach can be used for rest of the languages as well. But it still wont solve the bigger problem, i.e. rendering of indic text.
Currently FOP is not using any rendering/layout engine such as pango or qt for indic text rendering. So the generated pdf shows all of the indic text broken. So, Unless the indic rendering is fixed (using pango looks viable option) there is no quick fix to this problem."

--- Comment #6 from Bug Zapper fedora-triage-list@redhat.com 2010-11-04 07:05:12 EDT ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

It is already in fedora package SCM, but there seem to be some build issues still so it is not yet in rawhide.

Looks like this is much better with fop-1.0.
http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-14-Installation_Guide-bn-IN-fop-1.0....
It is already in fedora package SCM, but there seem to be some build issues still so it is not yet in rawhide.
Now this pdf shows the shapes of Bengali characters, complex script rendering not working properly (reodering of characters, open type fonts gsub/gpos rules not working)

--- Comment #15 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com 2011-05-17 22:19:23 EDT --- I think it is better to open a new bug for complex text rendering problems, since this fontset is rather old and has now been resolved I think upstream. Fixing the complex-text is probably going to be harder than fontsets...
