Hi, IIRC, the standard Courier font doesn't contain the glyph x25B6; This is why FOP replaces it with '#'
Font substitution in acrobat Reader cannot retrive the original glyph. If you want this glyph, you have to ensure that the font used at the FOP stage: 1/ contains the relevant glyph, and 2/ is embeded in your PDF (see [1] and [2] for further details).
