Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] How to change the font?
I use Arial Unicode MS too as a backup symbol font. You can add it to the stylesheet parameter named symbol.font.family as described here: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SpecialChars.html It becomes a fallback font if a character isn't in your main font.
