I don't understand what unicode.org is saying if it's just referring to what characters the codes should reference if they have to be in the font. Fontforge says U2610 and U2611 are not in the font.
Fontforge is an ugly program. It runs within Cygwin, where it displays a window showing the characters in the font, but it doesn't show them all and doesn't have a scrollbar.. I would like an easy way to view the characters in the font to see if I have something available that looks like a square/checkbox. I can only assume the square I'm getting is a default in FOP 0.95 for all missing glyphs. -----Original Message----- From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:j3322...@yahoo.de] Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2010 11:20 AM To: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Font Glyph?

Have a look at http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html U2611 is "BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK", i.e. not a square (U2610 should be a square, are you sure about the entity?) If FOP couldn't find the glyph, it would have printed a # instead. You could use one of the font editors to check whether your font actually has a glyph for the U2611 character (try http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/) > I tried replacing my fop.jar with one that I compiled from the Trunk, > and instead of printing the square it printed an error message to the > Java Console that the font doesn't contain the specified glyph. That's mildly odd, I'd guess your method for telling FOP about your font doesn't work as in Trunk. J.Pietschmann
