I am suspicious that although you declare the XML file as being in UTF-8 it actually isn't. How do you produce the XML file?
Manuel _____ From: Steffanina, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 3 September 2008 10:23 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Error when using XSL with French Characters My Friends, Fop-0.95 My style sheet has been working perfectly. However, the user submitted some text in French. In the text was a letter "e" with an accent above it. That character caused the following error: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence. My .xml looks fine. The "e" with the accent above it is perfect. First line in my XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Here is the first line of my XSL: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> I am confused over why the UTF-8 for the XML understands the character but the UTF-8 in the XSL does not? I found an article that suggests that the problem would be solved with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="8859-1"?> Would this be a viable/recommended solution? Do you have a better idea?
