Re: How to handle special characters?

Hi,

MS ARIAL UNICODE does not seem to be part of the base 14 pdf fonts. I really want to use the default fonts so that I don't have to embed special fonts in my pdf documents. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Patrick

I think MS ARIAL UNICODE font has tons of fonts which cover a lot of character sets including special ones. Try using that font set..

Subject: How to handle special characters?

Hi,

I need to display in a pdf file some text that contains different type
of characters: some are ascii type but other are special ones like the
'star' or 'square' characters. I understand from what I have read that
those special characters are not available in the default Helvetica or
Courier base font and that I need to use the ZapfDingbats font.

So what I need to achieve is transform the following XML content:

"Some text ï? More text"

Into:

<fo:inline font-family="Helvetica"> Some text Â<fo:inline
 font-family="ZapfDingbats">ï?</fo:inline> More text </fo:inline>


How can this be done using XSL to create the proper FO document knowing
that I don't know in advance what the text to translate looks like and
how many 'special' characters it contains (ex 'asdfï?asïÂdfï?asïÂdï?ï?fasdï?')

Thanks for any tips!
