We made some progress I think. I converted "name.xml", "name2fo.xsl" and "myconfig2.xml" from ANSI to UTF-8 (all three files begin with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ) and then ran the command:
fop -c myconfig2.xml -xml name.xml -xsl name2fo.xsl -pdf name.pdf which produced the following output: C:\Users\nikos\Desktop>fop -c myconfig2.xml -xml name.xml -xsl name2fo.xsl -pdf name.pdf 30 +Ϋή 2010 12:37:38 ΏΉ org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent WARNING: Glyph "-" (0x3af, iotatonos) not available in font "Symbol". The word inside "name.xml" is "Νίκος". After the conversion the pdf displays "Hello, Ν#κος!" (with the name aligned a bit lower than Hello,). Obviously, FOP isn't looking for iotatonos inside Arial.ttf or Freesans.ttf (I've tried it with both fonts), but instead it is trying to find iotatonos inside font "Symbol". Why is this happening? I opened Arial.ttf and FreeSans.ttf with Character Map. The description these two fonts have for the character " ί " is: "U+03AF: Greek Small Letter Iota With Tonos" So, FOP is looking for " ί " in Arial and FreeSans as "iotatonos" but it's not there with that descritpion. Maybe that's why it's looking in font "Symbol" later on (correct me if I am wrong). How could this problem be solved?
