Okay, this is a really short term hack, but you *may* be able to  change the 
formatting in the inline.xsl file to something like <xsl:call-template 
name="inline.charseq"/> to change emphasis firstterm  to a normal inline  font. 



That will apply to *everything* that you build to PDF. And I haven't actually 
tested it myself yet. Still, it's something to try.

Subject: [publican-list] CJK fonts and italics 

I'm working with some rendering of material to PDF in Publican that 
uses CJK fonts (zh-CN, zh-TW, ko-KR, and ja-JP translations).  I'm 
noticing that any string tagged in such a way as to set font-style to 
italic is getting each Unicode character rendered as missing character 
boxes.  (In fact, it looks like it may be the non-character U+FFFF.) 
In particular this affects <emphasis> and <firstterm>, but I think 
this is a general issue with anything the brand marks as italic. 

I know these fonts don't have a normal italic or oblique style.  So, 
is there something I can do to fix this?  I'd be reasonably happy if 
they just rendered as normal-style fonts rather than as missing 
characters.  I've tested with publican 2.2 and 2.5, docbook-style-xsl 
1.75.2-6, with the Fedora brand and our custom brand, on Fedora 14. 
Um, fop-0.95-5 also.
