We generate FOP documents from a *nix workhorse, a rather plain (bare)
server that has very minimal graphics & font equipment.
The current setup works well for current fonts (say, Verdana) and
custom-made technical fonts.
Now, I would like to use some glyphs from the Symbol font but this
raises a few interesting questions which I was not able to answer so far:
- it is not quite clear from the documentation whether Base14 fonts need
to be declared in fop.xconf
[unless I did not look at the right place and missed a point, which is
obviously quite possible]
- the server certainly has no Symbol font of its own, I can provide a
TTF but ttfreader will refuse to generate an XML descriptor ("Unicode
cmap table not present / Unsupported format - aborting.").
- do I need to use the ASCII or Unicode codes for the glyphs; is 'alpha'
simply a lowercase a or  ?
I thought this would be a simple item in my todo list but it proves to
be more difficult than I expected at first sight :-(
Any help appreciated !
