Oxygen XML Forum

Hello

I am using Oxygen 6.0 and generating pdf doc using xsl-fo and the built-in (Apache FOP) processor.

I would like to insert unicode caracter U9679 (big black circle) in my pdf document but i cannot find out how.

inserting blank space using   is working
inserting ● seems ok syntaxically (accepted by oxygen) but give a "#" character in the pdf doc instead of the expected black circle.

A method to insert any unicode caracter would be appreciated.

I don't know if this is important but my XSF-FO begins with the begining :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

remark:
if i generate the big black circle using ALT+9679 in word and cut/paste it in Oxygen, the big blac circle is correctly displayed in oxygen xsl-fo editor windows but after generation only a '#' is visible in generated pdf doc.

thank you

Bertrand

Hello,

You have to set a font to Apache FOP able to display the Unicode character, for example Arial Unicode MS, as described in the article "How to Add a Font to the <oXygen/> Built-in FOP" available on the Documentation page. This font will be set in the PDF result of the transformation and will be used by the PDF reader application (for example Acrobat Reader) to display the characters of the PDF document.
