--------------------------------

             Summary: Persian (Farsi) output problem with FOP
                 Key: FOP-2728
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2728
             Project: FOP
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: renderer/pdf
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: Ubuntu 16.04 with xmlto 0.0.28
            Reporter: Navid Emami
         Attachments: sample-output-final.zip, sample-output.zip

We are having trouble making Persian (Farsi) language output with FOP.

We are using the *xmlto* script with the --with-fop option to convert a DocBook file \
to PDF using FOP, which uses XSLT to first make a FO file, and then FOP to convert to \
PDF. We used the --noclean option to capture the intermediate FO XML file.

We have verified that the Persian (Farsi) characters are readable in the DocBook and \
FO files. However, when we generate the PDF, the output is not readable. There are \
both _joined_ and _separated_ letters in Persian (Farsi) language but the output in \
PDF format has just separated ones.

Note that there are some font issues in the PDF output as well -- missing glyphs -- \
those show as # characters, and are in the chapter/section headings. However, the \
main body of the text has no # characters, and it still has this problem.

*Attachments:*
* sample-output.zip contains small.docbook, small.fo, small.epub and small.pdf. The \
                final output of PDF should be similar to EPUB.
* sample-output-full.zip contains guide.epub and guide.pdf which are the complete \
documents but with wrong rendering of characters in PDF.
