Re[2]: [docbook-apps] docbook.xsl/fo different bullet symbols for itemizedlists
Hello Bob,
It's quite unclear for me what do you mean by this test... there is no
special 'bullet support' in XSL FO processors. Bullet is just a
regular character and it will be rendered correctly if current font has
appropriate glyph. The standard font for bullets is Adobe standard
Zapf Dingbats (BTW, you can find a sample which demonstrates the whole glyph
repertory of this font in XEP distribution: examples/charsets/zapf-dingbats.fo)
The glyphs marked in your table with 'yes' for XEP are those available
in Zapf Dingbats. If you want to use any other bullets you have to provide
XEP with appropriate font.
Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov mailto:peshkov@renderx.com

BS> Description Unicode FOP XEP Antenna House
BS> ---------------- -------- ---- ---- -------------
BS> Bullet 2022 yes yes yes
BS> Ring operator 2218 no no no
BS> Black square 25A0 no yes yes
BS> White square 25A1 no no yes

BS> Black circle 25CF no yes yes
BS> White bullet 25E6 no no yes
BS> Large circle 25EF no no no
BS> Ballot box 2610 no no no
BS> Ideographic zero 3007 no no yes
BS> If full Unicode fonts were in wide use, then these characters would likely
