Difference PDF and PostScript: Special characters
Hi,
I use the same inputstream for a FOP configuration to PDF and one to
PostScript.
The inputstream contains a Euro sign (?).
In the PDF it is shown, in the PostScript it isn't printed.
Is this a known issue or did I configure something wrong?

Thanks for any and all help,
Geoffrey

The Euro sign is not so old. It was hacked in a few years ago. Whether
you can produce the Euro sign depends on the font having the Euro glyph
available. If you generate a PostScript file from fonts.fo in FOP
0.20.5's examples/fo/basic directory I get the Euro sign when I view it
inside a recent GhostView (no userconfig.xml used). But the same
PostScript file may not print correctly on an older PostScript printer
when using a Helvetica font, for example, and when you don't embed fonts.

The most likely reason is that you use a built-in font, and
the PS printer is so old (or cheap) that it lacks a glyph for
the Euro sign.
