Hi
Among such packages we have in the past included Apache FOP, since it
falls into the free/open-source category and since it runs in Windows
without much complicated setup (a plus for our students). This has
been the "latest stable release", which is now at version 0.20.5.
But the version 0.92 beta release has been out for some time now, and
is said by many to be simply better, not least by virtue of having
more coverage of the FO specification.
Here is the response of Simon Pepping, a FOP developer (he didn't
succeed to post directly to XSL List):
The FOP development team encourages all users of FOP to upgrade
to version 0.92. Soon we hope to follow up with version 0.93,
which we believe to be of production quality. You can check the
coverage of the XSL-FO spec on FOP's compliance page
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html. Besides a
greater coverage of the XSL-FO spec, FOP 0.9x has a better
layout engine. It uses the famous Knuth algorithm both for line
breaking and page breaking. For other features see the overview
at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/latest/index.html, menu
item 'features'.
Because this version is in active development, contrary to the
"latest stable release" 0.20.5, reported bugs are fixed, and
new features are being implemented continually. Better font
support is on the short term todo list.
