Andreas L. Delmelle commented on FOP-2539:
------------------------------------------
Interesting... I was thinking along the lines that, provided the font supports
it, there are 'standard' Unicode codepoints for the specific characters
mentioned here, i.e.
GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA - U+03B1 (α)
GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA - U+03B2 (β)
GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA - U+03B3 (γ)
etc.
Must admit that I have not verified if those codepoints are supported by the
Base14 Symbol font, though. If so, no need for mapping to any 'private use
area' codepoints. Just make sure those symbols are encoded properly...?
