J.Pietschmann is right in saying that the characters are coming from the database - I am storing them there, pulling them out and inserting them into my XML which is then being converted using FOP. E.g. I am storing "ð" in the database, which I then hope will become the Icelandic eth character.
This database storage seems to be the issue, as when I inserted ð directly into my XML this was correctly interpreted as the eth character and it showed up in my PDF. However, when I pull this from the DB, it remains as ð. Why is this, and is there anything I can do about it? Thanks, Haitham. -----Original Message----- From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 October 2002 21:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Extended Unicode Characters Oleg Tkachenko wrote: > Your said you got ð in pdf, that looks like some problem with > escaping in xslt, chances are you are using disable-output-escaping, > aren't you? I guess it comes as a string from a DB. D-o-e wouldn't work unless the transformation result was serialized.
