[oXygen-user] FOP Question

[Dan Caprioara]

I remember I tried to convert this font, but also I did not succeed. I 
switched then to a Unicode large coverage font, "Arial Unicode MS". This 
works fine for all latin, hebrew, chinese, etc.

Once this font could be downloaded free of charge from Microsoft site, 
but they decided to make it commercial stuff. A search on Google should 
give you some alternate download sites.

Best regards,
Dan
