Quick summary: RTL inserts in a bi-directional document modify the directionality of brackets following those inserts. I am using Apache fop-1.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 to generate PDF output. My text includes Greek and Hebrew, so I specify font-family="FreeSans" in all <fo:inline> sections. I use a personal configuration so fop registers /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf. The bug is elicited by the following piece of text (inside XML) that I am rendering: An etymology for the name of the prophet Habakkuk (in the Septuagint, Ambakoum or Avvakoum), based on two Aramaic words found in the New Testament. The Suda is drawing from older onomastica; the same etymology is found in the Origenistic lexicon (see bibliography). <br/>[1] See already alpha 10. The Hebrew/Aramaic אבּא means father.<br/>[2] The Hebrew/Aramaic קום kum means arise; it can also be used to mean awake.[3] Mark 5:41 (web address 1).<br/>[4] The Suda is correct. The doubling of the בּ is indicated by its dot (dagesh); unlike Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic do not replicate doubled letters. The xsl template I use for <br> is: <xsl:template match="br"> <fo:block></fo:block> </xsl:template> The bug is that the brackets [ ] and ( ) are often reversed, so I get PDF with this content: An etymology for the name of the prophet Habakkuk )in the Septuagint, Ambakoum or Avvakoum(, based on two Aramaic words found in the New Testament. The Suda is drawing from older onomastica; the same etymology is found in the Origenistic lexicon )see bibliography(. [1] See already alpha 10. The Hebrew/Aramaic אבּא means father. [2] The Hebrew/Aramaic קום kum means arise; it can also be used to mean awake. ]3[ Mark 5:41 )web address 1(. [4] The Suda is correct. The doubling of the בּ is indicated by its dot (dagesh); unlike Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic do not replicate doubled letters. I do not see this misbehavior when I use xmlroff 0.6.2 instead of fop 1.1.
