The XSL spec allows the "font-family" to be a comma-separated list of font families, and for the processor to choose the appropriate font for each character when a "font-selection-strategy" of "character-by-character" is given. Unfortunately neither FOP nor XEP support the "font-selection-strategy" property, so it is necessary to explicitly use fo:inline to change the font for special characters. Another alternative is to embed a TTF font that includes all of the characters you need. The docs/examples/fo/fonts.fo file lists all of the characters supported by each of the default fonts in their standard encodings. Cheers, -Peter S.
