Hi,
Sometime ago, I've tried this code (this applies font-familly='Symbol' when
needed)
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:call-template name="testCaractÃres">
<xsl:with-param name="texte" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="testCaractÃres">
<xsl:param name="texte"/>
<xsl:variable
name="expression">ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩαβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρςστυφχψωϑϒϕϖ</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="texteTest"
select="translate($texte,$expression,'ΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ')"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($texteTest,'Α')">
<xsl:variable name="texteAvant"
select="substring-before($texteTest,'Α')"/>
<xsl:variable name="positionCar"
select="string-length($texteAvant)+1"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$texteAvant"/><fo:inline
font-weight="normal" font-family="Symbol"><xsl:value-of
select="substring($texte,$positionCar,1)"/></fo:inline><xsl:call-template
name="testCaractÃres">
<xsl:with-param name="texte"
select="substring($texte,$positionCar+1)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$texte"/></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
