While building PDFs for standalone libraries (BB2 is one example) works without a glitch, we were unable to build the master "boost.pdf", due to what appears to be a problem in FOP: ... fop-nt ..\bin.v2\doc\debug\boost.pdf [INFO] FOP 0.20.4 [INFO] building formatting object tree [ERROR] property - "font-selection-strategy" is not implemented yet.

It's probably possible to get to the root of the issue by commenting out different parts of "doc/src/boost.xml" until it's buildable, but in what little time we could devote to investigating this, we didn't have much success going this route. It would be greatly appreciated if somebody could take a look at this. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

Any volunteers to tackle this? If not resolved soon, this might leave us without "boost.pdf" in the release distribution. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

I've previously had problems getting FOP to generate PDF. Surprisingly enough, it was the Q&A markup that was causing problems last time. I don't expect that I'll have time to look into this before the release :( Doug
