RE: [docbook-apps] Unicode check mark missing in XSL-FO PDF output

Title: Message

I'm pretty 
sure the problem is in the font selection, so I'd suggest you check the pdf file 
to see what fonts it thinks it is using.

 

If they 
aren't what you expect, then most likely the problem is either in your 
customization or your font setup for fop.

 

It 
may also be worth trying to generate the pdf using 
the standard stylesheets with no stylesheet customization. That will help you 
eliminate your customization as the problem.

 

Hope that 
helps.

  Unicode check mark missing in XSL-FO PDF output

Trying to 
  use the unicode check mark symbol (✓ Hex2713) from isopub.ent, but 
  end up with a blank square in the PDF.

I use oXygen 11 (saxon 6.5.5 and 
  FOP) and DocBook 5 with the 1.75.2 stylesheets.The body-font-family is 
  Verdana, the symbol-font-family is the stylesheet default.

The problem 
  is not the entity files, oXygen resolves the entity and displays the check 
  mark correctly on screen.
I've tried to wrap the entity in a fo-inline by 
  the suggested template customization for FOP. This does not work for 
  me.

I guess it is either FOP or Acrobat that is messing up, but how do 
  I find out which one, and how do I solve 
it?
