Unix error msg

Anonymous
I ran Prince successfully on WinXP with an XHTML file and a corresponding style sheet.

On Fedora Core 3 Linux, I run prince and get this:

yurta{root}119: /usr/local/bin/prince -s 1500_nopage.css 1500_new.xml test.pdf
prince: warning: no glyphs for character U+0054
prince: internal error: no fallback glyph for character U+0054
yurta{root}120:



What do I do to fix this? My charset is set to iso-8859-1. Do I have some character in my file that I brought over from Win XP that is illegal?

Thanks

Mark

It was a matter of installing MSTTCoreFonts for my RH Linux as detailed in your Documentation FAQ.

The installation went quite painlessly! :P

Thanks

Today I installed Debian and downloaded Prince. After installing the required packages I tried to run Prince as on Windows (first time Linux). After searching the docs I saw that I could call Prince from the command-line. I did like this:

debian:/usr/lib/prince/bin# prince /home/martin/test.html


The file, test.html, looks like this:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
<p>lorem ipsum dolor...</p>
</body>
</html>


The pdf generated just contains of the first page though, the one saying that this file is generated by Prince etc.

Please tell me what I did wrong.

Ahum.. it seems like the pdf viewer on Debian don't behave exactly like Adobe Acrobat. Instead of scrolling down, you have to locate a button at the top panel, to view the next page.

Ok. That's about it from me this time. :oops:

Just for the sake of clarity, there is no GUI for Linux (Debian), right?

Hi martin,

Right, there is no GUI for Prince on Linux or MacOS X at this time.

If we made a GUI for Linux it would probably have to be a gtk+/GNOME program using xpdf for previewing the PDF output. However, it would be quite a large undertaking to develop such a GUI, and it is competing for our time with lots of other feature requests. One day perhaps! :)
