Description Amy Weiss 2002-03-14 22:36:49 UTC 
Hi!

I am using FOP to generate my PDF from XML and XSL files.  Reading through the 
unicode charts, the character ­ should appear properly using encoding ISO-
8859-1.  I am using this encoding, but the character is "unknown" to FOP.  
Meaning, I get the standard "#" when I use this ­ character.  I really 
need this character to appear properly as the soft hyphen because we have users 
in Hong Kong and Taiwan that are using our program and they cannot display the 
traditional chinese properly without this character.  This greatly affects the 
business of Yahoo!.  Please help me to find the reason for this character not 
displaying.

Thanks,
Amy Weiss

Hi,
I have not gotten any response on this bug.  It is very critical for us, so I 
was wondering who is looking into this?  How can it be fixed?  

Thanks,
Amy Weiss

The ­ character produces a hyphen (or short dash) with 0.20.3. I'm not
sure whether this really counts as fixed, however, the XSLFO spec does not
seem to provide for any special handling of this character.
