Hi,* I had a similar problem. These 2 special fonts are only available in a normal format (neither bold nor italic). You should check if inherited properties affect thes 2 traits. If this is the source problem, just add appropriate text-decoration="none" and font-weight="normal".

Is it possible you don't have Symbol on *your* system? (Do you get errors when running FOP? Try running FOP with the '-d' debug flag...). Try loading it on another computer. BTW, the definitive source for information is the FOP Fonts page[1]. Web Maestro Clay p.s. It's also possible you 'typed' 'Symbol' incorrectly. I notice that you've misspelled 'Helvetica' and 'Courier'. As for others, there are 14 'base fonts', but they are normal, bold, italic, bold italic variants of Helvetica, Times & Courier, plus Symbol & ZapfDingbats.
