Hi, I can't get FOP to render ▶ correctly in PDF (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Geometric_Shapes).
It should show up in font "Courier". I checked the PDF generated, and "Courier" is substituted with the Type 1 font "CourierStd" on my system, telling from Acrobat Reader properties for the PDF file. I verified using kfontview that indeed "CourierStd" has that glyph (in Unicode block "Geometric Shapes"). The font's encoding is reported as Ansi, though, and I guess that's where the problem is. In some related bug (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6237) it was recommended to "use a Unicode user font". Now I wonder how I can get FOP to use or embed a Type 1 font with Unicode encoding? Bug https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17828 lets me think that embedding a TrueType Font could solve the problem, as it seems TTF is treated as Unicode. Here is a simple self-contained example to show the glyph in question: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="only"> <fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body" margin="0.7in" /> <fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before" extent="0.7in" /> <fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after" extent="0.7in" /> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="only"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block>This should be a black arrow right</fo:block> <fo:block> Courier: <fo:inline font-family="Courier" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal">▶ </fo:inline> </fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> Thanks for any hints, Jörg -- ____________________________________________________________________ artnology GmbH - Milastraße 4 - 10437 Berlin - Germany Geschäftsführer: Ekkehard Blome (CEO), Felix Kuschnick (CCO) Registergericht: Amtsgericht Berlin Charlottenburg HRB 76376 UST-Id.
