Hi dear Andreas, Thanks for your explanations. I think my version of FOP 0.95 does insert Symbol and Zapfdingbats into the font-family parameter - along with sans-serif. Apparently, my repository points to the trunk. Look:
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; font-family="serif,Symbol,ZapfDingbats" font-size="12pt" text-align="start" line-height="normal" font-selection-strategy="character-by-character" line-height-shift-adjustment="disregard-shifts" language="en"> ... So, I don't see the reason why the # symbol appears in the PDF doc. It seems that FOP finds the Zapfdingbats font...
