Greek Chars
Hello,
I’ve got a a little problem with the printing of the alpha and beta
characters.
I am generating PDF-reports from a webinterface with XML and XSL-FO.
On this reports are the Characters “Alpha” and “Beta” from the Greek
alphabet.
But if I print this form, then the Greek chars turn into # . Why?
Thanks for help!
Michael

Hi JD,
Theoretically you are right, if the user wants to enter a greek text. But I assume the user is entering mathematical text and does not want to tag the symbols in a way, so replacement for each new character will be necessary anyway.

I wouldn't go with the inline replace <fo:inline font-family="Symbol">α</fo:inline>
For most of the '#' display problems the way out would be to use the add a font into FOP so that you can generalize the solution rather than trying to fix each new Greek character that comes in.

What kind of font do you use to print them ?

Hi Michael,
no need to send direct mail, obviously the main problem is already solved. For the next problem, find out how your web interface stores the greek characters and transform them in your xslt form <whatever> to <fo:inline font-family="Symbol">α</fo:inline>
Googling for xslt and replace leads to
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/replace.html
and I guess that's all you need.

Well, thanks first! But the Problem is: The User types a Text in the Webinterface, This Text is part of the Report i'm printing. So I dont know when the User types a alpha or beta. So your code has to be put automatically around this char if typed. I cant really explain me how to do this.
@Georg: Ich werde mich in kürze per Mail mit den gewünschten Infos melden.

Then
<fo:inline font-family="Symbol">α</fo:inline> (Unicode GREEK
SMALL LETTER ALPHA)
<fo:inline font-family="Symbol">β</fo:inline> (Unicode GREEK
SMALL LETTER BETA)
should do what you want.

Hi Michael,
I concur with what Georg has to say. You need to get the true type font (ttf
file) and generate a font metrics file for the Greek font and configure it
for fop. This URL should help you.
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html
Also, how did you get you Greek characters into the xml input file.
JD

Hi Michael,
Most likely, because you use a font where the character is not available. How are the letters written into the XML and into the fo file? Maybe you use a non-unicode font?
