Oops, sorry. Hmm, you've got a problem there. That's actually something that would (in theory) be handled like this:
<fo:inline font-family="Helvetica, ZapfDingbats">Some text ★ More text</fo:inline> FOP should (again in theory) automatically switch to ZapfDingbats if Helvetica doesn't contain a character. The problem is that FOP doesn't do that, yet. Working around this in XSLT is next to impossible (I think), which leaves a special preprocessor that inserts special fo:inlines as necessary but in this case you could just as well try to implement that directly in FOP. It'll not be so simple. <fx type="head-scratching"/> On 09.03.2005 16:49:19 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > This is not really what I am trying to achieve.
