Subject: Entity -> fo -> pdf with a Unicode font..
Hi, I have a document using two types of arrows. Unicode characters : 0x2192 -> 0x21db => (three lines) The respective entities are → and ⇛ I am using the FreeSerif font that have these two characters. I have checked with Fontforge. I have picked FreeSerif as the font to be used in the xsl <xsl:param name="body.font.family">FreeSerif</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="title.font.family">FreeSerif</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="symbol.font.family">FreeSerif</xsl:param> The fo gets the following output when using saxon 8.7.3J : <E2><86><92> Text <E2><87><9B> (output from vi) The fo is noted with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and for example ü works in the pdf when it is in fo denoted <C3><BC> that works also in pdf. But the arrows are displayed as hashes (#) in pdf. I use fop 0.92beta and including the font with a new configuration file which has FreeSerif included <font metrics-url="FreeSerif.xml" kerning="yes" embed-url="/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf"> <font-triplet name="FreeSerif" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> fop.xconf in the fop distribution was used as a starting point. (yes I generated the xml file myself with fop) Have had a look at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SpecialChars.html but no tricks seems to get it to work. Do anyone have any hints ? I do hate fighting with the docbook tool chain ... well I am using the free one so I guess I have to blame myself :) /Fred
