FOP makes exactly the same font substitutions when using the stock stylesheets and my customization: Replacing Symbol, normal 700 with Symbol, normal 400 Replacing ZapfDingbats normal 700 with SapfDingbats, normal 400 Replacing ZapfDingbats italic 400 with SapfDingbats, normal 400
The check mark is displayed as a hash (#) with the stock stylesheets and as a blank square with customization. Fonts used in PDF are: Stock stylesheets: CourierStd, CourierStd-Bold, Arial-BoldMT, TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT, TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT, and TimesNewRomanPSMT Customization: CourierStd, CourierStd-Bold, Verdana (normal, bold, and italic), and TimesNewRomanPSMT As you can see, Symbol and ZapfDingbats do not appear in the PDF. FOP is configured with the auto-detect parameter and it correctly detects and embeds Verdana -Bergfrid On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 7:50 PM, Dick Hamilton <rlhamil...@frii.com> wrote: > I'm pretty sure the problem is in the font selection, so I'd suggest you > check the pdf file to see what fonts it thinks it is using. > > If they aren't what you expect, then most likely the problem is either in > your customization or your font setup for fop. > > It may also be worth trying to generate the pdf using the standard > stylesheets with no stylesheet customization.
