The following code used to generate a shaded square box in FOP 0.19.0 . But with FOP 0.20.4 and even the earlier version FOP 0.20.3 it does not. It just shows a scissor symbol. <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="first"> <fo:region-body/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-name="first"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block><fo:inline font- family="ZapfDingbats">p</fo:inline></fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root>
There has been a change in in the font enconding after 0.20.3rc (which actually *corrected* the enconding for the symbol fonts) Have a look at docs/examples/fo/fonts.fo
