Re: [docbook-apps] Multiple languages in PDF?

[Eric Streit <eric@yojik.eu>]

hi again,

sorry, I forgot to mention this:

I modified the font searching mecanism (I'm on Linux/Debian)
The file is named : fop.xconf, and located in oXygen/lib folder in my 
case. So you can see, I have installed a lot of fonts in my home 
directory under .local/share/fonts .

*******************************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fop version="1.0">
  <base>./</base>

  <!--<font-base>file:/home/eric/.local/share/fonts</font-base>-->
  <font-base>file:/mnt/Raid/eric/Fonts</font-base>

  <default-page-settings height="11in" width="8.26in"/>

  <renderers>
    <renderer mime="application/pdf">
      <filterList>
        <value>flate</value>
      </filterList>

      <fonts>
        <directory 
recursive="true">/home/eric/.local/share/fonts</directory>
        <auto-detect/>
      </fonts>
    </renderer>
  </renderers>
</fop>
