Re: degree symbol in pdf

[vakkaraju]

Thanks, Chuck, for the reply.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the fop version we are using, it's 0.20.2.
We haven't upgraded to 0.20.3 for the fear of breaking something else.
Fortunately i could find some work around to get the degree symbol
displayed with 0.20.2, it's strange but it's the following.

The element "tempAmbientMax" value is "25.0degC".
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before(tempAmbientMax, 'deg'), '
&#x00B0;', substring-after(tempAmbientMax, 'deg'))" />

if i don't use concat function, the degree symbol was not displayed(the
string '&#x00B0;' displays), everything is fine if use concat.

Thanks for the help.

Vishnu.
