<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm trying to finish support for some requested character entities, and am having some [more] trouble. I've already specified the @font-family="Arial, Symbol, ZapfDingbats", on the <fo:root> element, and that worked for a bunch of characters. However, the following entities are representative of those still coming up as white-square boxes in the PDF (opened in Acrobat 7.0 Professional):</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">&xrArr;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">&bsim;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">&ges;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">&Gg;</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have the entity files referenced from my DTD where these are defined (isoamsa.ent, isoamsr.ent, etc.) as follows, and other characters are working OK.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"><!ENTITY xrArr "&#x027F9;" ><!--LONG RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW --></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"><!ENTITY bsim "&#x0223D;" ><!--REVERSED TILDE --></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"><!ENTITY ges "&#x02A7E;" ><!--GREATER-THAN OR SLANTED EQUAL TO --></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"><!ENTITY Gg "&#x022D9;" ><!--VERY MUCH GREATER-THAN --></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The only pattern I can detect is that those entity files which say "The numeric character values assigned to each entity (should) match the Unicode assignments in Unicode 4.0." are the ones having trouble.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does anyone have any suggestions?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Much thanks in advance,</FONT>
