xmlroff ?

So I discover that fop and dblatex had both issues. I discover this blog:

* http://www.jejik.com/articles/2008/12/docbook_xml_to_pdf_on_debian_lenny/

It mentionned a 3rd contestand: xmlroff.

It seems to work on the PNG example I tried in fop and dblatex.

Hopefully this solution is the solution to go...

What a mess !
