Re: symbol font, versus symbolMT

[Pascal Sancho]

Hi,

The Symbol font is not a Unicode one:

In a Unicode font, you have 2 glyphes that can be used:
 - MICRO SIGN = U+00B (µ as XML entity) (the one got from keybord).
 - GREEK SMALL LETTER MU = U+03BC (μ as XML entity).

In Symbol font, the code for the corresponding glyph is 0x6d (Unicode
SMALL LETTER M).

You may, either:
 - use the 'm' letter with the Symbol font,
 - or (best practice) use a Unicode letter with a Unicode font.

for example:
<fo:wrapper font-family="Symbol">m</fo:wrapper>
<fo:wrapper font-family="DejaVu">µ</fo:wrapper><!-- equivalent to &#xb5;-->
