Thanks Hussain, that's working now.

Next question... Is it possible to put an image in the header or footer?

Cheers

Mike

Nothing wrong. Simply, Options>Preferences>Add-on>FO does not work very well.



--> First problem: the dialog box show an empty "C:\windows\fonts\" folder.

You have found the workaround: type "C:\windows\fonts\calibri.ttf".

See attached screenshots: calibri.png, calibrib.png, calibrii.png, 
calibriz.png



--> Second problem: FOP does not seem to understand that 
"C:\windows\fonts\calibri.ttf" contains a font called "Calibri"!

Here too, you have found the workaround: specify that "Calibri" is your 
sans-serif font and use XSL stylesheet parameter

body-font-family=sans-serif

(or body-font-family=Calibri,sans-serif)

because:

body-font-family=Calibri

alone will not work.

See attached screenshot: body_font_family.png

We'll, of course, try to fix all these problems in the next release of 
XMLmind XML Editor.
