Title: FOP printing using polish characters

I had the same problem last week and it's very easy as long as you have Polish TTF or PFM fonts. All you have to do is make FOP use them and embed them in result PDF. Have a look at http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html. It's all there. If you have TTFs, look at the "Adding additional TrueType" section. It's real easy.

 

Nice to hear someone out in the world uses Polish national characters.

Subject: FOP printing using polish characters

Dear all guru's.

I hope someone can help me on this one :
I am trying to use FOP to print in pdf-format. When doing so my polish characters prints as #'s.
I have been given the following statement, and I need to get it working...

<fo:block text-align="start">
        <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="ItemDescription[. = ' ']">not specified</xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:value-of select="BaseItemDetail/ItemDescription"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
</fo:block>

My problem is when I have polish special characters in the above, it prints in the pdf-file as #'s.

What can I do to change this ?

Thank you very much for any help.
Best regards and have a nice day where ever you are in the world.
