--------------------------------------------------------------------
Was trying to check what the behavior was when the TTF was used, but
unfortunately, the Symbol.ttf file that comes with OS X cannot be processed:
WARNING: Unable to load font file: file:/System/Library/Fonts/Symbol.ttf.
Reason: java.io.IOException: The font does not have a Unicode cmap table:
file:/System/Library/Fonts/Symbol.ttf
Happens with quite a lot of TTFs and TTCs on OS X. Not an expert, so not sure
what is wrong about those files that makes FOP's font library not able to
process it. I mean: I obviously get that it cannot find a Unicode cmap table,
but would have to familiarize myself with the format to know whether that is
really an issue with the file, or whether it just points to a deficiency in
FOP's font lib... ?
EDIT - The Arial.ttf that comes with OS X _does_ work apparently, and would
render the first sample with proper baseline alignment between the regular
latin characters and the greek symbols.
