[afp-renderer-users] Afp font question

From: Avijit D. <av...@ho...> - 2004-12-27 20:05:11

Hi,

I am trying to convert an xml document to various output formats including 
afp. Currently we have a cobol mainframe batch program that converts a word 
perfect file. I was wondering if I can use the mainframe OS 390 afp fonts to 
render an afp document in unix ?
Please give me some direction.

Regards,
Avi

Hi Avijit,

The AFP Renderer will easily support the scenario you describe. Just
copy the fonts into a location accessible from unix, and configure the
afp-fonts.xml to point to the fonts. You then have the problem of
generating valid XSL-FO from your XML, but one step at a time.

Good luck,
Joe
