Re: [docbook-apps] Publishing Character Entities (%isopub;) in PDF from DocBook XML

["Don Adams" <dga@sgi.com>]

WOOO HOOO!!!  It works.

This is in my userconfig.xml file for FOP:

 <font metrics-file="$FULLPATH/arialuni.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-file="$FULLPATH/ARIALUNI.TTF">
    <font-triplet name="ArialUnicodeMS" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
 </font>

This is my customization layer:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; version="1.0">
    <xsl:import href="fo/docbook.xsl"/>
    <xsl:template match="symbol[@role = 'unicodefont']">
        <fo:inline font-family="ArialUnicodeMS">
            <xsl:call-template name="inline.charseq"/>
        </fo:inline>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


This is in my source DocBook XML file:

<symbol role="unicodefont">&#x266E;</symbol>

Thank you!
