Hi, i'm using docbook to write a paper (book) and i want to
transform it to pdf using xsltproc -> fo -> fop -> pdf. The problem is
that i'm using diacritics like ă, î, ş, ţ (romanian language lang="ro"
utf-8), but they are not displayed correctly in the pdf version (html
and txt are ok). The following problems occur:
  - Î is displayed in the pdf but not in the text version
  - ă, ş, ţ are replaced by one # sign.

I think the problem lies with the fonts (none embedded in the pdf) not
being able to display Unicode characters (sans family is used from
what i saw, and supports only ascii).  Can anyone tell me how can i
embed (and use) proper fonts?

I wold like to use DejaVu or any other font family that supports these
letters correctly (using utf-8 character encoding).

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux testing (etch) fop 0.25-? (but downloaded
0.93). I can provide the sources if needed (i can't right now, not at
home). I'm just starting out so if you can directly me to some nice
tutorials on using xml + xsl-fo + how to get romanian language
supported in pdf output :) it would be super.


p.s. I'm a newbie so please be gentle.
