Arial also has a bullet. Why not just use that since you already get the Ohm symbol from Arial?

Thank you very much for that information.

Would there be a way (and I've tried using the substitutions but with no
luck so I assume I am doing something wrong) to tell it to use a different
font other than the operating system Symbol font?

If I have<auto-detect />   in the userconfig.xml file this line

Ends up displaying as a # symbol in the resulting pdf file print.

If I take<auto-detect />   out of the userconfig.xml file, then the above
line works but the following line does not.
That's because there are 2 version of the font named Symbol; The Base 14
font Symbol that is included with FOP by default. That is the version
used when<auto-detect/>  is absent from the fop.xconf file and the
symbol.ttf file installed in the operating system. The bullet character
is not present in the Operating System version of Symbol or at least its
accessed via a different Unicode reference.

<fo:inline font-size="11pt" font-family="Arial, sans-serif">Ω</fo:inline>
Arial is not available as part of the Base 14 fonts, so you must
register it in the fop.xconf. Since<auto-detect/>  adds every font
installed in the Operating System I suggest you manually add individual
fonts that you wish to use (such as Arial) using the  element as
described in [1]

Thanks,

Is any more information needed?  I need this to be able to show bulleted
lists as well as possible 'special' characters.

Thanks!

In this case it is using te symbol font for the bullets.

display correctly.

I have found that if I take the<auto-detect />    the bullets for the
bulleted
list (rich text format) will show, but them some other symbols (like
the
Ohm
symbol, etc) show as #.  If I keep the<auto-detect />    in, the
bulleted
list
shows as # symbols, but the Ohm symbol, etc display correctly.

Is something missing for the fonts?

Thanks!
