Trouble with Pound signs

[Ian Taylor <ia...@inatos.com>]

I am encoding both the xml and xsl with UTF-8 and have had no problems with 
rendering a pound sign, £, on our local machines.

However when this was tested on other machines the pound sign turned into a 
square box.

What can I do to make sure that pound signs are always rendered on any 
platform?

Thanks

Usually this means the font on the target machine does
not contain a glyph for the pound sign. Do you use standard
fonts or your own font? In case of the latter, did you embed
your font?

It depends.
