	Oriental Characters by Michael Halpin-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Is there a way to use oriental characters like Arabic or Hebrew in Daisy? I have tried a few tests but the PDF output just shows the characters as ####.

Don't know about PDF, but HTML is fine, see a demo in Arabic: http://daisy.arocha.org/arocha/495-DSY.html?language=4 And one in Simplified Chinese (with link to Traditional Chinese): http://daisy.arocha.org/arocha/765-DSY.html?branch=main&language=zh-Hans I have an extra CSS file (layout-rtl.css) which is included only in right-to-left scripts (Arabic so far) -- all it does is override layout.css for good right-to-left rendering. Ask me if you want it. My <html> element also has xml:lang and lang attributes set to the language code, but that doesn't affect rendering, it's for content classification purposes only.

	Re: Oriental Characters by karel_vervaeke :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Daisy supports unicode throughout the application. For PDF rendering we depend on Apache FOP. When FOP does not know how to render a character, it writes out a #. FOP has some documentation about fonts: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/fonts.html If you end up configuring daisy/fop so that it supports Arabic/Hebrew/Other languages better, please write your findings in the Daisy documentation.
