RE: arabic font support in FOP

[Babar Ismail]

The font information, etc is shown in the XSL-FO file attached. But
fyi..

font-family="Times New Roman,any".
I can get any font to work but the only problem I face is that when FOP
0.20.5 encounters a character whose code-point is greater than 255, it
renders it as a # character indicating that it is unrecognized.

All I need to know is how to get the Unicode character with code-point
values greater than 255 to be displayed correctly.

I tried adding the entries of these characters in the files
encodings.xml and glyphlist.xml (placed in the codegen folder) but I can
only add the values upto 255. After that, fop crashes.

I know for sure that I have configured the font correctly because I have
got the wingdings font working too.

Thanks

Babar

Most likely cause is because you have not configured your font 
correctly. What font are you using and how have you configured it?
