I tried to use Arial Unicode MS but FOP complains that it is not found. I’m 
assuming it is not one of the built-in fonts.

1.       Do I need to configure FOP to use a custom font and then include it 
somewhere?

2.       If I do use a custom font, will it have to reside on everyone else’s 
machine, or will it reside inside the PDF so that it renders properly 
everywhere else?

Thanks

I am using XSL to create the FOP markup, so it is not possible for me to easily 
wrap special characters in their own inline block. I am using the 
greater-than-or-equals ≥ symbol which is only available in the Symbol font. The 
rest of the document is in sans-serif.

What's odd is that any numbers subsequent to the ≥ symbol are also in the 
Symbol font.

My markup includes an attribute-set as follows:

        <xsl:attribute-set name="normal">
                <xsl:attribute name="font-size"><xsl:value-of 
select="$fontSize"/></xsl:attribute>
                <xsl:attribute name="font-family">sans-serif, 
Symbol</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:attribute-set>

But when the PDF is generated, the baseline (or some other attribute) of the ≥ 
symbol is much lower.
Arial Unicode MS
Noto Sans
etc.


Is there really no way to fix this? I've tried tinkering with setting 
baselines, etc. but nothing fixes this. Also, as the previous solution 
mentions, I don't know of any fonts that include this symbol as well as the 
full alphabet.

Thanks in advance for any help.
