We have a XML document in UTF-8 encoding. It contains characters for
the sami (lappish) language. When we generate postscript documents
with FOP/XEP the resulting document is missing 3 characters. These
are all replaced by the character \240 in XEP and '#' in FOP. The
characters in question are 0xc4 0x91, 0xc5 0x8b, 0xc4 0x8d in UTF-8.
Why does this happen ? And how can we solve this problem ?

I have attatched a sample document which shows the problem.

Which font are you using for rendering. I assume the Adobe default fonts don't contain the glyphs for those code points. You need to use a font which contains those glyphs.

Merry christmas !

So what you're saying that if we choose a font that has the glyphs we need,
then FOP/XEP will use different codes for the characters instead of just using
/240 or '#' for all of them ?
