U+211D (a unicode character) doesn't show up in the output PDF

["Chris Chiasson" <chris@chiasson.name>]

... but it does show up in the xhtml and html output

From what I understand, even if the character isn't in the default
font, then the xsl-fo processor should find an appropriate substitute
font and use that. I know my system does have (at least two) fonts
that support this character, so what might be going wrong?


I'm using the adware XEP version.

here is a representative xml snip:

<inlineequation><mathphrase>(&#8203;X<subscript>1</subscript>&#8203;,&#8203;X<subscript>2</subscript>&#8203;)&#8712;&#8477;<superscript>2</superscript></mathphrase></inlineequation>

The missing character, &#8477; ,  is the double struck capital R, for
representing all real numbers.

I'm using a fairly default xslt customization layer for the fo side:

xep.extensions is 1

no setting of fonts (or of font sizes in the section where I used the equation)

also:

no special options to XEP except that it is using the mode that
outputs eps instead of pdf
