Re: Greek text in the HelloWorld example causes Severe Exception
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? Nikos 2010/8/30 Spyros Papantoniou spyros.papanton...@gmail.com Dont use Symbol! Its a mess it has only the 24 Greek letters not accents, not dialysis... Find a font that has full UTF-8 glyph set in Greek, like on the Mac Arial, Times New Roman, Helvetica all have it. I dont have Windoze to check which fonts have the full glyph set.

Re: Greek text in the HelloWorld example causes Severe Exception
you need an xsl as well... the xml with Nikos does not knwo which font to use: my xsl contains explicit calls to the xml: This is exactly the reason it didn't work. Thank you Spyros! I edited name2fo.xsl. It was: fo:block Hello, xsl:value-of select=name/! /fo:block and i changed it to: fo:block font-family=arial Hello, xsl:value-of select=name/! /fo:block So the font family must be explicitly defined in the XSLT stylesheet too. Finally, problem solved. Glenn, thank you for your reply too. Regards, Nikos
