If you're like me, you probably don't pay much attention to a SourceForge project's description after the first couple of times that you see it. However, the xmlroff and PangoPDF project descriptions do change from time to time. FYI, both descriptions changed recently because xmlroff now uses both PangoPDF and Pango rather than having to use PangoPDF *instead* of Pango. xmlroff ======= xmlroff is an XSL Formatter written in C. It produces PDF or PostScript output using GNOME Print. xmlroff uses Pango (and, currently, PangoPDF) to lay out the text. xmlroff was initiated as an Open Source project by Sun Microsystems. PangoPDF ======== PangoPDF implements several of the inline properties defined by XSL that are not currently implemented by Pango. PangoPDF used to attempt to do more (hence its name), but no longer needs to thanks to recent changes in both Pango and GNOME Print. Regards, Tony. |
