Re: Multiple languages in PDF?

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>
