Hi (2)
Alternative source problem:
The native charsets are limited to some characters. For example, in the symbol 
font, normal letters (A to z) are not implemented. If you need to use 
greek characters, you must use appropriate charcodes (i.e. Α as Alpha to 
ϖ as omega).
I send you attached pdf file that shows the 14 default charsets (helvetica, 
courrier and times fonts needs 4 charsets each).

Objet : RE: Symbol ZapfDingats font doesn't render

Hi,*
I had a similar problem.
These 2 special fonts are only available in a normal format (neither bold nor 
italic).
You should check if inherited properties affect thes 2 traits.
If this is the source problem, just add appropriate text-decoration="none" and 
font-weight="normal".

I don't know why it's not working for you. Is it possible you don't have Symbol 
on *your* system? (Do you get errors when running FOP? Try running FOP with the 
'-d' debug flag...). Try loading it on another computer.

BTW, the definitive source for information is the FOP Fonts page[1].

p.s. It's also possible you 'typed' 'Symbol' incorrectly. I notice that you've 
misspelled 'Helvetica' and 'Courier'. As for others, there are
14 'base fonts', but they are normal, bold, italic, bold italic variants of 
Helvetica, Times & Courier, plus Symbol & ZapfDingbats.
