[xep-support] Re: Missing glyphs

[Kevin Brown]

Dave:

 

It's not clear what you are doing here. I think you should have this:

 

<font-family name='berling' embed='true' subset='true'>

<font  embed="true" subset="true">

  <font-data otf="path-to-my-berling-font.otf"/>

</font>

</font-family>

 

<font-family name='SymbolStd' embed='true' subset='true'>

<font  embed="true" subset="true">

  <font-data otf="path-to-my-SymbolStd-font.otf"/>

</font>

</font-family>

 

Then in the document, you would have:

 

<fo:block font-family="berling">This is text and <fo:inline font-family="SymbolStd">β </fo:inline></fo:block>

 

Or even ...

 

<fo:block font-family=”berling, SymbolStd”>This is text and β</fo:block>

 

Using a font-selection-strategy of character-by-character. This would look through all fonts in the font-family list to find the glyph in question.

Two font files.

First one, berling I'm using for English characters.

Within the config file I have also

<font-family name='berling' embed='true' subset='true'>

 

...

<font  embed="true" subset="true">

  <font-data otf=".../SymbolStd.otf"/>

</font>

 

</font-family>

 

I know the SymbolStd font file has the Greek glyphs.

 

The output isn't using them.

 

How to specify this please?

regards Dave
