Hi Thomas,

I put some kyrillic letters in a document and in the resulting PDF- file they were replaced with #-signs.

Is this just a problem of the used font? FOP supports unicode, am I right?

FOP indeed supports Unicode --as is required of every XML- application--, but the standard fonts (Base14) do not have glyphs for every single character.

The solution is to use a custom font that does contain glyphs for the characters you use (e.g. 'Arial Unicode' or 'Lucida Sans Unicode'...)

For more info concerning font-embedding and configuration, see:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/configuration.html
or
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/fonts.html

P.S.:
My little project with FOP is going on well, I hope to show you something the next days :-)

Cool! Only thing to keep in mind if you publish it, are font- licensing issues. To avoid possible problems, it's advisable to look for a free font, so this issue is sidestepped.



Cheers,

Andreas
