RE: Bullet points in japanese

[Akagi Kobayashi]

Hi Andreas

Indeed your reply helps.

We build in English and in Japanese.  The bullet point appears correctly for
English; in Japanese it leaves a blank, not #.
We don't have Symbol font installed in layout/fonts; only Arial, IPAGothic,
etc.

So, in English, is the bullet point using the Arial font (as specified in
the gentext en.xml file as •)?

If I changed Symbol to IPAGothic - like below - is there a risk of skewing
up the English output?

  <!-- Fallback font used for Unicode symbols such as right arrow -->
<xsl:param name="symbol.font.family"
         select="'IPAGothic,Symbol,ZapfDingbats,LucidaUnicode'" />

<xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'symbolfont']">
>     <fo:inline font-family="IPAGothic">
>       <xsl:call-template name="inline.charseq" />
>     </fo:inline>
>   </xsl:template>

Regards

Akagi

I'm afraid that, as long as you don't specify the correct font-family
as the first one, you won't get your bullets... :(

Reason is that font-selection-strategy is unimplemented for now. FOP
only looks at the first font-family (Symbol), and if that font does
not have a glyph for that codepoint, then you get the dreaded '#' in
your PDF...

As stated above: it won't work, unless the 'IPAGothic' font is the
first one in the list (only the first font-family is used).


HTH!

Cheers
