Foreign Characters in TXT output (FOP 0.20.5)
I'm rendering output in both PDF and TXT using XML+XSLs. I am able to successfully display foreign characters (embedded) in the PDF but when I attempt to do so with the TXT output the foreign characters display as boxes.
Foriegn characters can be found in both my XSL (as labels) as UNICODE values (e.g., è = è) as well as in my XML's values. How can I make the TXT output support the foreign characters?

FOP 0.20.5 uses by default the default platform encoding as
specified by the JDK.

This is a little surprising. Both FOP 0.20.5 and 0.91beta produce UTF-8
encoded text files by default which map these foreign characters well.
Could you post a small FO file (not a stylesheet) that demonstrates the
effect you see?

You can set the character encoding for the text output using the
txt.encoding switch, see
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/running.html#standalone-start
You can use the default encoding of the tools you use to display the
output, or tell these tools the encoding you specified, otherwise you'll
still get unexpected results.
