RE: Trouble with ZapfDingbats
Thanks for all your help. I'm not sure what the problem is either. I followed the fop-user and fop-dev threads, and didn't notice anything that would cause a problem. Jay suggested I try loading the font's but I don't see that I should have to, as it is a base font mentioned on the fonts page in the documentation. I'm going to try the unicode example of TJ's when I get a chance (bloody deadlines). Maybe I can get rid of those scissors as well. My source XML uses a 'windows-1252' encoding so hopefully this doesn't affect the unicode value (I'm really dumb when talking about encodings). This encoding only works when I add xercesImpl.jar to the CLASSPATH. I tried changing the encodings and removing the latest erces archive , but had no joy. For now I've rolled back to the first release candidate of Fop 20.3 (Fop-0.20.3rc), which works as it did in the previous releases. Is there anything in this release that I should be aware of? I could have stayed with the previous release of Fop 20.2, but I had to change because the XSL spec had changed (master-name & master-reference). FWIW I tried posting this to fop-dev as well but it doesn't seem to have made it there. Hopefully there are enough developers looking at this list (Keiron?). I've also set up a test with other fonts and saw that Symbol was also effected. If you want this test suite I'll happily send it.

Re: Trouble with ZapfDingbats
Hi I recently had problems with ZapfDingbats in fop 20.3 The solution is to use the Unicode for the dingbat you wish to render - I was using: l which produced a filled-in circle character in 20.1, but rendered a pair of scissors in 20.3 The solution is to use: ● which works fine in 20.3 Hope this helps TJ - Original Message - From: "Keiron Liddle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 4:48 AM Subject: Re: Trouble with ZapfDingbats > > I'm not sure what the problem is that you are having but ZapfDingbats > works fine for me both on unix and windows NT. > > On 2002.03.06 00:35 Keen Tim wrote: > > I recently upgraded to the latest version of Fop (fop-0.20.3rc2) to take > > advantage of the changes to the attribute master-name and am now having > > problems with the ZapfDingbats font.

Re: Trouble with ZapfDingbats
I'm not sure what the problem is that you are having but ZapfDingbats works fine for me both on unix and windows NT. On 2002.03.06 00:35 Keen Tim wrote: I recently upgraded to the latest version of Fop (fop-0.20.3rc2) to take advantage of the changes to the attribute master-name and am now having problems with the ZapfDingbats font. Essentially my PDF doesn't recognise the font. Is anyone else experiencing the same problems? Is this a known problem? Am I missing something? Should I rollback to a previous version? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
