Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] [docbook] PDF Convertion faults


Hi,
Thanks for clarifying.  Hyphenation is done by the FO processor and is 
dependent on the locale.  The Apache site has information about configuring 
FOP for hyphenation:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/hyphenation.html

Regarding adding color to text in PDF, the FO property named "color" can do 
that.  It requires using an attribute-set if one is available for the 
intended text, or a template customization.  Maybe you could describe what 
you are trying to color.
