I'm pretty sure the problem is in the font selection, so I'd suggest you check the pdf file to see what fonts it thinks it is using. If they aren't what you expect, then most likely the problem is either in your customization or your font setup for fop. It may also be worth trying to generate the pdf using the standard stylesheets with no stylesheet customization. That will help you eliminate your customization as the problem. Hope that helps.

I use oXygen 11 (saxon 6.5.5 and FOP) and DocBook 5 with the 1.75.2 stylesheets.The body-font-family is Verdana, the symbol-font-family is the stylesheet default. The problem is not the entity files, oXygen resolves the entity and displays the check mark correctly on screen. I've tried to wrap the entity in a fo-inline by the suggested template customization for FOP. This does not work for me. I guess it is either FOP or Acrobat that is messing up, but how do I find out which one, and how do I solve it?
