This is a good step, yes.  It works OK with arrows because, being an
oddly-shaped character it's somewhat difficult to judge where they
'should be', but doesn't pan out with ∀ (which is displayed
significantly below where you would expect).

I've also tried using other fonts (such as sans-serif, Times, Helvetica,
etc) for the non-symbol characters, but they line up the same as 'serif'
does.

I tried installing xmlroff and its output is what I would expect to see
(see attached, the output of my original test document).  Unfortunately,
xmlroff is nowhere near FOP in terms of completeness so its use is not
really an option for me.

Does anyone know why FOP gets this wrong where xmlroff gets it right?
Is it really xmlroff that gets it wrong and my expectation of what is
'right' is incorrect as per the PDF standard?

Cheers
