Thanks for the info. I've now configured my FOP configuration file as
<fonts> <!-- automatically detect operating system installed fonts --> <auto-detect/> </fonts> In my xsl, I'm setting font-family="'LeHei Pro'" where 'LeHei Pro' is the System Font in Chinese collection. When I run this through FOP processor (0.94), resulting PDF file contains sequences of # where I'm expecting chinese characters. Is this because FOP is not able to locate this font? Any help in this regard is appreciated. Jeremias Maerki-2 wrote: > > Forget PFMReader! It's not needed anymore in most cases and is just kept > for backwards compatibilities and emergencies.
