Re: [docbook-apps] Unicode Not displaying in PDF

HTML output works, but FO/PDF displays only pound (#) signs for the Unicode character ref's below:

beginning of text... ― ‐ ‑ ‒ ... rest of text.

This means that you FO processor is not configured to use font with that characters. Many fonts contain only subset of Unicode repertoire. If you are on Windows you can configure your FO processor to use Lucida Unicode (l_10646.ttf) -- this font contains many characters.


After you register font in FO processor modify following XSL stylesheet parameter to include the font into list of fallback fonts used for missing characters in primary font:

<xsl:param name="symbol.font.family" select="'Symbol,ZapfDingbats,LucidaUnicode'"/>
