OpenType fonts and XSLfast

Often, we have questions how to let XSLfast work with such OpenType font `Foo` (Foo.OTF/Foo.OTC).

The XSLfast is pure java program and it ready for OpenType fonts support; but it disabled permanently.

Why?

First, XSLfast needs to let you operate with it in GUI (menus, text boxes, etc). And here we have big problem with Java: prior to further release of Java 7, Sun Java have no support of OpenType fonts yet. It are not implemented. So, whole Java API have no possibility to operate with OpenType fonts. And as result, XSLfast also cannot let you type such texts with OpenType fonts selected. Boom.

We're waiting for Java 7 SE; and once it will be released we'll make new major version of XSLfast with OpenType support enabled.
