Hello again.
Windows 7 and Vista, and latest Xwiki (I believe - how do you check?)
I am storing Tibetan unicode in my wiki. It renders properly in the browser.
2 questions:
1) I have updated the export function according to the instructions from
Sergiu Dimitriu in a comment to
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Exports
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Exports?viewer=comments#x…
The comment:
--
# means that the used font doesn't support that character. You should make
sure you use a font that supports the Unicode range corresponding to the
target charset.
You should find the right fonts and put them in the
webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/fonts/
Copy xhtml2fo.xsl from webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/xwiki-oldcore-x.y.jar into
webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/classes/ and edit it, adding the name of your font
before FreeSerif and FreeMono wherever you find them listed in that file.

I did this, copying the font files I needed from my font directory.
Now when I export to .rtf and .html, the documents render properly with the
fonts I expect. However when I export to .pdf, the correct fonts are found,
but the Tibetan letters that are stacked do not render properly. Thus I
think there is something wrong with the pdf engine, but don't know if this
is true, and how to fix it. Any suggestions?
2) I would like to tell the rendering engine to make the font larger when
it is rendering Tibetan than when it is rendering Western languages. I know
next to nothing about xsl transformations etc. Is this possible, and if so
how might I do it?
I realise this is a rather obscure subject, but I did see one post to the
mailing list that contained Tibetan, so I hope someone might have some
experience with this.
Thanks in advance,
Tom Troughton
