Thank you - yes it does make it more clear. The # is an indication that the font your are using has no matching glyph for the non breaking hyphen.
>From your initial post I incorrectly assumed that the problem was incorrect line breaking behaviour of the non breaking hyphen. Obviously that is not the case. For the time being the only solution I can offer is to find a font that contains a glyph for that code point. FOP is not doing anything wrong as such. Although an argument could be made that FOP should substitute the glyph for a normal hyphen when there is no glyph for the non breaking hyphen in the selected font. However, 'intelligent' glyph substitution is a more generic problem which I believe FOP has not tried to tackle so far.

I am using FOP 0.95 (latest stable at the time of writing). I am trying the following fo snippet. <fo:block> This is the example with 2011 (as char) non breaking hyphen: This‑is‑a‑line‑with‑8209‑characters </fo:block> <fo:block> This is the example with 2011 (as hex) non breaking hyphen: This‑is‑a‑line‑with‑8209‑character s </fo:block> <fo:block> This is the example with 2011 (as number) non breaking hyphen: This‑is‑a‑line‑with‑8209‑characters </fo:block> <fo:block> This is the example ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ with an HTML shy hyphen: Bigand-long-word-that-should-break-in-a-logical-place-and-not-go-to-the-next -line </fo:block> <fo:block> This is the example ZZZZZZZZZ with non breaking space : Big and long word that should break in 60;a logical place and not go to the  ;next line </fo:block> Comments: - The hyphens in the first block are hex 2011 chars inserted directly into the FO file from the VIM editor - The hyphens in second block are entities with number 8209 - The hyphens in the third block are entities with hex 2011 - There are hyphens in 4th block with hex AD inserted directly by VIM - The non-breaking-space in the 5th block are entities with number 160 I run this snippet with FOP using fop -fo hyphens.xml hyphens.pdf Expected output First Block: This-is-a-line-with-8209-characters sentence appearing with hyphens but it should not break at any point. Second block: The same as first Third block: The same as first Fourth block: The sentence Bigandlong... with no visible hyphens. Only one visible hyphen when it breaks Fifth block: The sentence Big and long... with spaces but no break at all Actual output First block:The sentence appearing with "#" characters instead of hyphens Second block: Same as first Third block same as first Fourth block: As expected (so this works OK) Fifth block: As expeected (so this works OK) Thus the problem is that I get the "#" (sharp symbol) instead of a non-breaking-hyphen in the PDF output. I hope this is more clear. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
