Hi Akagi
Indeed your reply helps.
We build in English and in Japanese. The bullet point appears
correctly for
English; in Japanese it leaves a blank, not #.
We don't have Symbol font installed in layout/fonts; only Arial,
IPAGothic,
etc.
So, in English, is the bullet point using the Arial font (as
specified in
the gentext en.xml file as #8226;)?
Can you give a little more context?
AFAICT, I see two possible scenarios:
a) the stylesheet determines only the codepoint to use for list-
bullets based on 'en.xml' or 'ja.xml'
Japanese - #x25CF;
English - #x2022;
b) the stylesheet determines both font-family and codepoint based on
those two files
If the choice of font-family is determined in the stylesheet, then it
becomes possible to have both languages render correctly, even with
FOP's current limitation.
If I changed Symbol to IPAGothic - like below - is there a risk of
skewing
up the English output?
Possibly. I don't have the IPAGothic font to test with, but if it
does not contain a glyph for both codepoints, then you risk
So, maybe what you have below needs to be supplemented with an
xsl:choose, that creates a font-family attribute with the right
value. I'm not sure how your stylesheet can reference the language
property, but let's say that's represented by '@xml:lang', then:
!-- Fallback font used for Unicode symbols such as right arrow --
xsl:param name=symbol.font.family
select='IPAGothic,Symbol,ZapfDingbats,LucidaUnicode' /
This will make sure that all templates that use this parameter, will
use that font-family list.
Only, as mentioned, FOP would eventually only use the 'IPAGothic' font.
Maybe you would need something like:
xsl:param name=symbol.font.family
xsl:choose
xsl:when test=starts-with(@xml:lang, 'en')'Arial'/xsl:when
xsl:when test=starts-with(@xml:lang, 'ja')'IPAGothic'/
xsl:when
...
/xsl:choose
/xsl:param
xsl:template match=[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'symbolfont']
fo:inline font-family=IPAGothic
xsl:call-template name=inline.charseq /
/fo:inline
/xsl:template
This template is unrelated to the above parameter. It would force all
symbol role=symbolfont nodes in the source document to use the
IPAGothic font, so depending on the context, it could be safer/
cleaner to make it use that xsl:param.
xsl:template match=[EMAIL PROTECTED]'symbolfont']
fo:inline font-family={$symbol.font.family}
xsl:call-template name=inline.charseq /
/fo:inline
/xsl:template
!!! Be careful if the parameter is global, and the fo:inline could be
in a different language. In that case, it may become necessary to
redo the xsl:choose locally in the template to obtain the correct
effect.
HTH!

Bullet points in Japanese (IPA font) do not show, when using itemizedlist/listitem. Could anyone please show me where to set this? I can see big bullet points in list.xml, but... could it be font dependent?

Many Thanks Akagi Posting again on this subject, as I can't see the mail I posted yesterday on the forum. Hi, As you said, bullet is the character #x2022; , and the used font must contain a glyph to figure it. The simplest way to be sure that you use a font containing the glyph for bullet is to use one of the 14 base fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier, or Symbol).
