Unfortunately FOP insists to put a "#" in place of "ί".
I can confirm that Arial.ttf contains a CMAP entry for all the required
characters. I opened Arial.ttf with Character Map (the Windows utility for
viewing fonts). There I inserted code "03af" and it showed the character
"ί".
The same applies for FreeSans.ttf.
myconfig2.xml contains exactly this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fop version="1.0">
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>
<font embed-url="file:///C:/Users/nikos/MyFonts/arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
</fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>
Since I explicitly tell FOP to use arial.ttf, why does it not use it? I also
tried this on a Mac OS X 10.6 using Arial with no success. I get the same
warning telling iotatonos couldn't be found in font 'Symbol'.
Maybe I am doing something else wrong?
