I think MS ARIAL UNICODE font has tons of fonts which cover a lot of character sets including special ones.

Re: How to handle special characters?
Hi, MS ARIAL UNICODE does not seem to be part of the base 14 pdf fonts. I really want to use the default fonts so that I don't have to embed special fonts in my pdf documents. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Patrick On 9 mars 05, at 16:32, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think MS ARIAL UNICODE font has tons of fonts which cover a lot of character sets including special ones.

Re: How to handle special characters?
Oops, sorry. Hmm, you've got a problem there. That's actually something that would (in theory) be handled like this: fo:inline font-family=Helvetica, ZapfDingbatsSome text ★ More text/fo:inline FOP should (again in theory) automatically switch to ZapfDingbats if Helvetica doesn't contain a character. The problem is that FOP doesn't do that, yet. Working around this in XSLT is next to impossible (I think), which leaves a special preprocessor that inserts special fo:inlines as necessary but in this case you could just as well try to implement that directly in FOP. It'll not be so simple. fx type=head-scratching/ On 09.03.2005 16:49:19 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, This is not really what I am trying to achieve.

Re: How to handle special characters?
Ok so I think the only way out it to pre process my xml file to mark special characters so that I can them easily find them in my xsl document. Could another option be to find a font that contains all unicode characters? How difficult is it to embed a special font that would work both on Mac and PC? Do you have any pointers on how to do this? Thanks, Patrick On 9 mars 05, at 17:01, Jeremias Maerki wrote: Oops, sorry. Hmm, you've got a problem there.
