Hi,

I've tested the new support for Symbol and Wingdings fonts with the latest FOP trunk and wanted to share with you two observations:

1. In my fop config file font auto detection is enabled. Nevertheless Wingdings and Symbol fonts are not automatically detected inside the Windows Fonts folder. I had to copy the .ttf files inside the folder where my font base url is pointing to (fopFactory.getFontManager().setFontBaseURL()). Then it worked just fine. Generating the font metrics was not necessary and neither did I have to declare the fonts explicitly in the fop config file.

2. I've also tried to use the Symbol font inside SVGs, especially with the Ohm-character. But the Ohm-character is not displayed correctly because a fallback is done to Helvetica. That's strange because when inserting the ohm-Symbol as normal text inside a fo:block element it worked without any problem. I'm attaching a sample SVG file. Could you please tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a FOP bug?

Thanks & Regards,
Matthias Reischenbacher
