degree symbol in pdf

[vakkaraju]

Hi,

I'm unable to get the degree symbol('°') to be displayed properly in
the pdf while displaying a temparature value,  whereas i get the "cubed"
symbol('&#xB3') correctly displayed while showing a flow value such as
meter cubed per hr.

We have been sucessfully using FOP over the past six months  for
transforming xml into pdfs using fo transformations in websphere3.5.4
servlet environment
and the browser as ie5.x.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
