Hi

FWIW:

[Jeremias: ]
If RTF2FO produces a 'q' for the theta character in the XSL-FO then
that's incorrect. What FO2HTML tool did you use? With RenderX's
stylesheet the HTML shows a 'q' in Firefox.

I stand corrected. Microsoft appears to be the odd ball here. I use RenderX's stylesheet as well, but while the 'q' character displays as a 'q' in FireFox it displays as a theta in IE. The decoding used in both applications is UTF-8, and that matches the encoding of the file. So it appears that Microsoft's products (MS Word and IE) both internally map the Latin characters to their Symbol glyphs while FOP and FireFox require the characters themselves to be in that font set. Curiously, FOP and FireFox are different as well in that FireFox shows a Symbol 'q' as 'q', while FOP turns the Symbol 'q' into a '#'.

IIC, this is a FOP limitation for all versions up to and including 0.95. FOP Trunk should now use another font than Symbol for a 'q'. Max implemented basic support for character-by-character font- selection, which is probably what Firefox does too.


Something to look forward to. :-)


Cheers

Andreas
