I had all kinds of problems myself with anything "__;. See my reply "Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Any suggestions on Java problems? (with Saxon)" for how I dealt with them. Essentially, I changed entities to be normal characters. > The backend (FOP at least) should "do the right thing". But it > probably doesn't. Unfortunately, I think the fix has to be performed > at that level. You can get FOP to "do the right thing" if you specify the font-family for the block containing the entities in question. For example, I can get the copyright, trademark, etc. symbols if I make sure to surround them with a font-family like TimesRoman. If you have a TrueType gliph for the ⋫ entity on your system, but it's in a different font set than the standard TimesRoman and SanSerif, then you need to create a custom font metrix and userconfig.xml files as well as surround such output with blocks with your font-family. The creation of user defined fonts can be found here: http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html as can how to use the userconfig.xml when processing your FO pages. Sectioning the entity off into its own font-family block should be done at the customization layer of the style sheets. > For HTML, the problem is more difficult because many browsers aren't > expecting Unicode.

You could always try to specify what font you want around the entity, but I don't know if that'll work or not. Hope this helps. -- Michael Westbay Work: Beacon-IT http://www.beacon-it.co.jp/ Home: http://www.seaple.icc.ne.jp/~westbay Commentary: http://www.japanesebaseball.com/forum/
