Sorry for being so ignorant.... I came across dejavu in the archive of this forum I have downloaded that yesterday
what do I need to exactly do to make it work with fop - extract all the ttf from the zip - make some sort of reference to the ttf files in the conf? - and set the default font family to "dejavu" in the root element of my fo thanks again At 12:13 8/05/2009, you wrote:

I can't immediately think of any alternatives.

Linux-based distributions provide a lot of fonts with varying coverage of the Unicode standard. I can think of two of them, DejaVu and FreeFont, but there are probably others. http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/ There are also the STIX fonts: http://www.aip.org/stixfonts/ All those fonts should have a more permissive license than Arial Unicode MS, and provide a good coverage of all European languages. <snip/> HTH, Vincent --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
