What is FOP?
---------------
Apache FOP is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting
objects. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object tree
conforming to the XSL 1.1 Recommendation (05 December 2006) and then turns it
into a PDF document, certain other output formats or allows you to preview it
directly on screen. Some parts of the XSL 1.1 specification (work in progress!)
have also been implemented.
Apache FOP is part of Apache's XML Graphics project. The homepage of Apache
FOP is http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/.

details.
Major Changes in Version 0.93
-----------------------------
* Added support for the use of Open Type fonts (BD)
* Support for the rgb-icc() function and for a proprietary cmyk()

far). (JM) Thanks to Peter Coppens. Fixes 40729.

text using embedded TrueType fonts. (BD) Thanks to Adam Strzelecki,
Victor Mote. Fixes 5535.

be a bit incomplete. Feedback is welcome!)
* The Java2DRenderer (and therefore the print and bitmap renderers) is
now offering the same quality as the PDF and PS renderers. Note:
There can still be little differences between PDF and Print/PNG/TIFF
because the latter uses a different font metrics source.
* Automatic support for all fonts available to the Java2D subsystem
for all Java2D-descendant renderers (TIFF, PNG, print, AWT).

And if it doesn't, you may tell us as well, of course. ;-)
