I would like to print a sigma character on my generated PDF

I use FOP version 0.20.5 and I can't change this version.

The Numeric Character References should work, provided the font
you're using has a glyph for the desired character... (# means that
the used font doesn't have a glyph for sigma)


Try this.....

A "greek character" indeed has a unicode value but only the "Symbol" font has a "glyph" for that unicode character. A glyph is the way a character is drawn on the screen or on paper.

    <fo:inline font-family="Symbol">&#x03A3;</fo:inline>

Now, encoding these in your incoming XML is another trick entirely!! One which I have not entirely mastered but have been successful with.
