Hi,
you can generate the metrics from the TTF file as per instructions
at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html ,
a decent unicode font that covers loads of the glyphs is "Arial
Unicode MS" font found at C:\WINDOWS\Fonts on my PC.
See:- http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html#arialunicodems for details of the Unicode tables it covers. Even though you are on a Mac, you can still download the font TTF file from Microsoft cheers Karl From: Paul Loy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 19 September 2006 2:29 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Unicode Fonts!!!!

Do I have to translate all the foreign characters into a character reference? Paul Loy wrote:Hi All, I've inherited a poorly written system. Part of it uses FOP to create PDFs from an xslt. Now, we have international people on our site which is fine in HTML (xhtml1.1, utf-8) but when I try to use FOP I get # instead of any polish characters. I think this is due to the font we were using didn't have the unicode glyphs. My question is, where are any unicode fonts for FOP. I just want an Arial or Helvetica type font, nothing fancy! Then, how do I use this font in my PDF? Here's a snippet of my xslt: <xsl:template match="para"> <fo:block font-family="VAGRounded" font-weight="normal" font-size="10pt" line-height="13pt" space-before.optimum="10pt" space-after.optimum="10pt"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </fo:block> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="sup"> <fo:inline vertical-align="super" font-size="8pt"><xsl:apply-templates/></fo:inline> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="sub"> <fo:inline vertical-align="sub" font-size="8pt"><xsl:apply-templates/></fo:inline> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="i"> <fo:inline font-style="italic"><xsl:apply-templates/></fo:inline> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="i"> <fo:inline text-decoration="underline"><xsl:apply-templates/></fo:inline> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="pre"> <fo:block font-family="VAGRounded" font-weight="normal" font-size="10pt" line-height="13pt" space-before.optimum="5pt" space-after.optimum="5pt" white-space-collapse="false"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </fo:block> </xsl:template> I've tried changing the VAGRounded bit to Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman but I still don't get the characters to be in the final PDF!!!
