DITA-OT/FOP and Devanagari Scripts

[jana...@gmail.com]

Good Afternoon,

I am customizing the PDF plug-in and have got it working for the most part. However, the customer wants us to include some Hindi content (Devanagari script) and I notice that it is not rendered properly when I use Apache FOP. (As to details of "not rendered properly", I can only explain in lay man terms that the "matras", "half-matras" and "jod-akshars" are displayed incorrectly. Attached is the image of the original and rendered content.)

However, when I used a trial version of Antenna House FOP Processor, the Hindi text was rendered correctly.

I was reading the documentation for both OT and FOP. Am I correct in understanding that I cannot render DITA content in Devanagari script using the FOP combination?

I am using Oxygen as the XML Editor.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Janaki
