Thanks - that does what I want
Ron

I can't see how to do this, but ... I use the standard Docbook XSL stylesheets (1.73.1) and Saxon 6.5.5 to generate FO This is modified/ecxtended by a 'house style' customization layer which applies to all my projects. Finally I have many separate 'project style' customization layers which apply onl...

Sorin Many thanks. I also set a local URl for draft.png. Bob Stayton says this is the only external URl in the Docbook XSL stylesheet. <xsl:parameter name="draft.watermark.image" select="'/Library/WebServer/Documents/_XML/_DocBook/draft.png'"/> <xsl:parameter name="draft.mod...

MacOS 10.3.9, Docbook 4.5, Saxon 6.5.5, XSL style sheets 1.70.1, XEP 4.9, using Oxygen 8.1 Very occasionally I get messages like these during a transformation: (sequence-master [master-name blank-draft] [warning] Could not retrieve image from 'http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/images/draft.png'...

Sorin
Done that. Oxygen starts OK, no problem.
I'll keep watching, if it does it again I'll notify on this thread
many thanks
Ron

java.vendor Apple Computer Inc java.vm.version 1.4.2-56 java.version 1.4.2_09 Haven't been able to get it to hang after 6 starts from shell - it never has performed to order.

Hi Oxygen 8.0 on Mac G4, Macos 10.3.9 I can't tie this one down to a set of circumstances, but since I looaded 8.0 Oxygen, it sometimes freezes completely, the only way out is Force Quit. This has happened about 10-12 times in all. The simplest (at least twice) is when I have nothing else running (i...

I think you have text antialiasing enabled and it does not work fast for some fonts on Mac OS. It is a problem of the Apple Java VM. Disable antialiasing in Options -> Preferences -> Editor -> Aspect or change the font in the same options panel. Regards, Sorin I have 10.3.9 on a G4 (which this was i...

Thanks George, I have a ttf of LucidaGrande in Open Office, I'll have a go tomorrow.

Will this work with XEP as well? (If I have selected XEP in place of FOP in preferences)?

Ron

I would like to create PDF output with embedded fonts (specifically Lucida Grande) Is there any way I can do this with FOP (or XEP)?

I'm doing XEP transforms and getting the footnotes marked correctly. I have senn that if only one footnote appears on a page that sometimes(?) the footnote marker does not appear. never had any trouble when more than one footnote on a page

Oxygen 6.1 (not 6.1.1) on Mac G4, MacOS 10.3.9 Server a document that transformed OK on Oxygen 5.1 now fails to transform (to XHTML) on 6.1 (although it checks out well-formed and vaild) with the message E (class: com/icl/saxon/style/XSLApplyTemplates, method: validate signature: ()V) Illegal consta...

Sorin Many thanks for the quick reply. I have enabled FOP output and set memory for the FOP process to 1000MB. I also had, and still have, 1000MB set in oxygenMac.sh - I didn't realize this was not an overall setting. I've now moved completely to oxygen 5, the html and copy transformation work OK, t...

I have just moved from Mac OS X Server 10.2.8 to Server 10.3.6 (on G4 Server hardware, 1.25 GB memory) This included a move up from the first update of Java to the second - 2nd. update is only for 10.3.5 on. Under Oxygen 4.2 on MacOS 10.2.8 with Docbook 4.3 pre-release everything worked fine - XIncl...

Some time ago I posted a message about this problem - got no reply. Briefly, on MacOS 10.2.8 or on 10.3.5, with 1.25GB memory. 1.0 GB allocated to Oxygen, G4 server hardware, I get the same "out of memory" during transformations. This problem ONLY occurs after I have been working on severa...

I haven't noticed this on MacOS 10.2.8, but that only supports the first of the java updtes - the second is for 10.3.5
Ron

Icelandic come over OK as George recommends - but try and get the Old English charcter 'yogh' in any font set.
nearest I get to it is 3 in the Herculanum font that Apple supply - but not much use to people who don't use apple

Thanks, I've got 10.3.3 running on an experimental basis - just never though to try it on that.
Ron

This may well be only relevant to Mac users. (10.2.8 on G4 Server) When I do an [open] or a [save as], I get thrown right back to the root directory, and have to navigate through a complex directory structure before I can complete my [open] or [save as]. Wouldn't it be possible to have Oxygen behave...

It looks like I'm getting spurious error messages when I use xref's to id's in xinclude's. Or I'm doing something wrong. Any help welcome. No ultimate problem, the documents transform OK and the links work, it's just that I wasted time chasing errors that weren't there. (Latest Oxygen, MacOS 10.2.8 ...

Sorry, forgot this - the xi:include "call" inside <book> looks like this: <xi:include href="part_1.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" > <xi:fallback> <para> <emphasis> MISSING INCLUDE FILE AT LOCATION - part_1.xml </emphasis> </para> </xi:fallback> </xi:inc...

Val Instead of using entities, I now use xi:includes - much more flexible. These work fine with Oxygen 3.1, and can be nested to any depth - <book> includes <part>s, which include <chapter>s, which include <section>s - all in separate files. I also use <formalpara> to get a final sub-division within...

Many thanks Sorin, that sorts a lot out for me.
Ron

George OK, I finally beat this one. It wasn't a catalog problem at all. Perhaps the answer might be of interest to others. When I tried to chunk XHTML output - any of following ways: 1. No XSL customization, no catalog (other than the default ones that Oxygen throws in). XSLT by chunk.xsl Save As se...

George Thanks for pointing me to the catalog - that looks like where the problem might be. I did correct a 3.0 to 3.1 error in the catalog, but all that did was change the line in chunk.xsl that gave the error E Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected. E failure reading file:/html/docbook.xsl...

Sorin Tried as you say - 'Save as' left blank and tried to transform the docbook sample.xml with chunk.xsl. I got the same two errors as before I'm running Oxygen 3.1 on a G4 desktop Mac with OS 10.2.8 Maybe as George says its a problem with the update of the DocBook files which accompanied the Oxyg...
