Description

during area generation, the mapping of characters to glyphs should make use of a "last resort" font, e.g., see http://www.unicode.org/policies/lastresortfont_eula.html, in order to render characters that are otherwise unrenderable by the assigned font(s);

suggest that FOP configuration file permit user to specify a last resort font, and that area generation and/or font component(s) make use of this information to map unrenderable characters to last resort glyphs;
