XSL Formatter Q&A

Q.	When I specified `font-family="Helvetica, MingLiu"` for sentences where Traditional Chinese and English exist together, all output characters used the MingLiu font. I expected the alphabet part to be output with Helvetica. Am I doing something wrong here? In XSL Formatter V2.5, I could achieve the expected behavior by this code. <fo:block script="zh-TW" font-family="Helvetica, MingLiu"> <fo:block>北京市 (Beijing) 朝陽区 (Traditional Chinese text)</fo:block> </fo:block> [No.2005060301]
A.	Please use `language` instead of `script` as follows: <fo:block language="zh-TW" font-family="Helvetica, MingLiu"> <fo:block> ... We changed the treatment of `script` from XSL Formatter V3.0. The font is selected by `script`, and all characters in the block use the same font when `script` is specified. On the other hand, when `script` is not specified, `script` is decided from the character code. However, `script` is decided by the `language` when you use Chinese etc. because those languages have many scripts. related matters: When I format multilingual documents, I cannot put the `xml:lang` attribute on the `fo:root` element. Please tell me where the xml:lang attribute need to be. [No.2002101804]
