Hi Nancy
Entering font triplets soothes FOP's pain - no warnings are
generated :-) By
the way, if you don't specify embed-url, how FOP knows where this
file is
located? It's not in the standard /fonts folder.
That's what I'm wondering as well... Can you show the complete font-
metrics element?
I removed the font registration from the conf file and recompiled.
Nothing
has changed in the output -- still this darn #.
Wait a minute, I just noticed in your earlier post:
<fo:block/>
☎ +1 (800) 425 9546
<fo:block/>
This will simply use the font-family that is specified on the parent
fo:block. The symbol should be encapsulated in a fo:wrapper element
(or entered as a fo:character) which explicitly resets the font-family
to ZapfDingbats.
BTW: since the thread started with a question on how to avoid
OOMErrors, you may want to consider (if possible) to avoid generating
too many of those empty fo:blocks and instead switch to linefeed-
treatment="preserve" to retain the explicit line-breaks.
<fo:block linefeed-treatment="preserve">
&260E; +1 (800) 425
9546
</fo:block>
produces the same output, but is massively more efficient in terms of
memory consumption. Empty fo:blocks can still be useful if you want to
get creative with space-before/space-after, but if you just need
explicit line-breaks, then using something like preserved linefeeds,
or Unicode line- or paragraph-breaks (…, 
 or 
)
will save heaps of memory. Should work in 0.95.
Something similar for fo:inline, which is often used only to switch
font-related properties. fo:wrapper does this just as well (since the
font-properties are inherited), but are much less wasteful. If you
don't need specific alignment-adjust (or borders, or any other non-
inherited property), use wrappers instead of inlines.
That said, FOP Trunk will have no problem rendering the phone symbol
in the original fragment, without requiring any additional intervention.
HTH!
