Thanks Tom for all your help with this. I am generating FO files from
RTF files with a handy utility called RTF2FO. Fontunately, one of the
options i can use with this is to set the encoding output. So, what i
tried to do in the mean time was to change this to ISO-8859-1.
I did do this, and it did output the FO file in that format. Now, in
the FO file i get the familiar character references that we would
normally see in svg.
For instance, • is now embedded instead of the previous
character references. However, the resultant SVG from the FO Processor
still does not include those references, just ?'s.
I have a work-around in place for now. I think i might post this on
the FOP user group, too. I can also try the your reader suggestion.
