Hi, The # character in FOP output means the fonts that are specified in the FO output do not contain a glyph for that character, in this case math symbols. You will need to add a font that has them. See this reference for details:

Next, you can use mathphrase: <!DOCTYPE equation PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";><equation><title>Fermat's Last Theorem</title><alt>x^n + y^n ≠ z^n ∀ n > 2</alt><mathphrase>x<superscript>n</superscript> + y<superscript>n</superscript>≠ z<superscript>n</superscript> ∀ n ≠ 2</mathphrase></equation> This compiled correctly on my system. I use MathML for all of my equations. See Bob Stayton's book for a better explanation of how to integrate MathML equations. http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html Hope this helps.

For us to help you, we would need to know a little more about your issue. Equations can be a bit tricky for all formats, but I think you are trying to get it to work in eBook format? Can you tell us what you have tried, specifically? It would help us understand your issue. Regards, Dean Nelson In a message dated 9/30/2013 1:07:28 P.M.
