Using russian characters in FO-Files

[Johannes Fiala]

Hi there,

I tried to use russian characters (UTF-8 encoded) inside an FO file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
...
 <fo:block language="ru" hyphenate="true">
russian characters:
Мне доставляет удовольствие обращ
Людям, с которыми я часто общаюсь, я открыто выражаю свои чувства.
end russian characters
</fo:block>

What I get after running the FOP test suite (I'm using fop-0.20.5rc.) is only "#" signs where the russian characters should be.
Other languages as Finnish or French are working.
Beneath %FOP_HOME%/hyph/ is a file ru.xml which should define the russian hyphenation characters I believe.

I tried leaving the hyphenate parameter away and tried using different hyphenation settings, all without success.
Has anybody a hint want I am missing?

thx alot
Johannes
