Java is not XML. Java has no native facility for interpreting an XML numeric character reference, so you are getting exactly the expected results. I don’t speak Java well, but try something like this: String square = new String( [ 0x25a1 ], 0, 1 ); Then pass that string, square, to FOP. If that doesn’t help, I’m done; I can read Java, but don’t really write it well. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > “The present tendency and drift towards the Police State gives all free Americans pause.” — Alabama Supreme Court, 1955 (Pike v.
