When building FOP, it is necessary to set $LANG to en_US.UTF-8, otherwise you get warnings like the following: fop-1.0/src/java/org/apache/fop/render/rtf/RTFHandler.java:136: warning: unmappable character for encoding ASCII This preparation should be mentioned in the documentation. <URL: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/stable/compiling.html >
Thanks for your bug report. Java file must contain ascii characters only. You should be able to build FOP with an ascii-only locale. Please let us know if you find other problematic files. Thanks, Vincent
Forgot to add that the issue has been fixed in rev. 1169766: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?revision=1169766&view=revision
batch transition to closed; if someone wishes to restore one of these to resolved in order to perform a verification step, then feel free to do so
