Jean-Francois, fop-0.95 I am running Redhat Linux 2.4.21-47.0.1.
The letter I am referring to is: é è I assume I am having problems with any French character that includes a glyph. What are you using for <?xml version="1.0" encoding="XXXXXXXX"?> I appreciate any suggestions. I have not had to deal with international characters sets before. Thanks.

None of them can possibly correspond to CHR(130) neither in UTF-8 nor in ISO-8859-1 On what kind of system/platform/OS are you working ? Mentioning vi makes me guess it should be some kind of Unix but at the same time the encoding used makes this improbable... I guess more information is needed here.
