This question is for dita-users AT yahoogroups DOT com > 2. Why does PDF2 output display the objects in the correct font, but > not WordprocessingXML output? Does the XSL-FO Converter have separate > fonts configuration files? No, because there is no need for such configuration files. Just specify: <xsl:attribute name="font-family">Verdana</xsl:attribute> and it should work. See font-attributes.fo, font-attributes.rtf, font-attributes.docx, etc. Such sample files are found in http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/samples.html > (This question is intended for the XMLmind > user group.
