Hi,

I am having difficulty getting two characters to display in my pdfs when running fop from a servlet that needs to support the Maori language (New Zealand). The Maori language has 10 characters outside Latin 1 character set: AEIOUaeiou all with a macron. I have embedded a font, freeSerif, from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freefont/freefont-ttf-20060126.tar.gz and it definitely has glyphs for these characters. I use XSLT to generate xsl:fo and use the fop API to generate the pdf. Strangely, if I capture the generated xsl:fo and run fop by hand (standalone), the generated pdf is correct. Even more strangely, when run from the servlet, all macron characters display correctly except the lowercase "a" and "o" macron characters ("\u0101" and "\u014D"). Each appears in the pdf as two characters - the second is always a "?" and the first is either blank or a different "?" symbol, depending on the embedded font I am trying to use. Trying different fonts produces the same problem with these two characters.

I have looked at the servlet generated pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro, and in the document properties verified that the font is being embedded (I use a peculiar name for it). It is encoded as "Identity-H".

When running fop by hand I use the same fop.xconf config file as the servlet. I am running fop 0.94, and the servlet in Jetty6, on Windows, with Java 1.6.03.

Any thoughts on how the same xsl:fo would produce different results standalone vs servlet? I can only think that the xsl:fo going into fop via the servlet is getting corrupted so that fop thinks the "\u0101" and "\u014D" characters are two separate characters each.

Many thanks,
Nick
