A small update on this issue. I also see the error about missing hyphenation pattern but fop doesn't crash in my case. And there is a PDF generated.
I am using following command: $ fop -xml flumotion.xml -xsl /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl -pdf flumotion.pdf Output: 1 Feb, 2009 3:38:07 PM org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler warning WARNING: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Making portrait pages on A4 paper (210mmx297mm) 1 Feb, 2009 3:38:07 PM org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler warning WARNING: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Read /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/README.Debian section 5(a). 1 Feb, 2009 3:38:11 PM org.apache.fop.fo.flow.ExternalGraphic bind SEVERE: Image not available: url(figures/fluendo.png) 1 Feb, 2009 3:38:12 PM org.apache.fop.hyphenation.Hyphenator getHyphenationTree SEVERE: Couldn't find hyphenation pattern en Can you please confirm if this is the case on your side as well? If it is then your error is something else. May be the error is related to the PNG image you are using since I don't have the png image on my machine. -- fop crashes with SEVERE: Couldn't find hyphenation pattern en https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310882 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
