Docbook to pdf customization
by Luxsci 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

I know this is a beginner question, but I am not sure what file I should modify to alter the transformation of docbook to pdf. I would like to change the font outputted by the pdf and also fix the numbering issue where there is no space between the number and the text (see attachment). Where would I go to customize the docbook to pdf transform? I have tried copying the Docbook-pdf transform and editing the transform to change the parameter from Times New Roman to two different open type fonts. One transforms as the bold version, even though I have regular, italic, and bold installed. The other transforms as italic, even though I have the regular, italic, and bold installed. The numbering option is unclear to me. For the font, here is what I tried and how it transformed:

Followup (strange rendering of some Tamil vowels when in TextMode in oXygen

Followup to my previous message (included below) It occurs to me that my question might be clarified if I posted a direct comparison between the what is seen on (my) Window screen when oXygen is in text mode and what is seen on the screen of that friend who runs oxygen on a Mac. What baffles me is the difference of treatment between the "M" element (line 13), where TamilRendering is fine, & the "l" element (line 15 to 18), where proper rendering fails. An extract of the file itself is as follows.
