Firstly, welcome to xmlroff and the xmlroff-list.

It is more likely to be something that xmlroff is missing, although I would
have liked to think that xmlroff didn't segfault quite as easily as it used to.

What version of xmlroff are you using?

You could run xsltproc on your XML and XSLT files to produce your FO file and
run that through libfo-compat.xsl to prune out many of the FOs and properties
that we know xmlroff does not yet handle.  (We do intend to build
libfo-compat.xsl into the xmlroff executable in the next release so that step
is automatic.)

If that still doesn't work, then create a bug report on SourceForge and attach
the FO file.  Creating a bug report is more useful than emailing me the file
since I do email and xmlroff work on different machines.

Regards,


Tony.
