Add Character

[Alexandre Moraes]

Hi,
      I´m using Xep and I need to add the Unicode Character Script Small L (ℓ) in my pdf. I added in xep.xml Arial true type font and then use font-family =Arial in the fo:root.
      It didn´t work.Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Alexandre

It would help others to help you if you showed exactly what was in your
input (if it was "ℓ" and not "ℓ" then your input wasn't
even well-formed) and detailed what Xep did or didn't do for the
character reference.

Hi Alexandre,

I believe the reason for this issue hides in your xep.xml configuration file. Probably you added Arial font in wrong font group. Original configuration file that comes with XEP has commented out group with Windows True Type Fonts. Just uncomment this block (more about it can be found here http://www..renderx.com/reference.html#Configuring_Fonts).
<!-- Sample configuration for Windows TrueType fonts.  -->

<font-group xml:base="file:/C:/Windows/Fonts/"
 label="Windows TrueType" embed="true" subset="true">
  <font-family name="Arial">
    <font><font-data ttf="arial.ttf"/></font>
    <font style="oblique"><font-data ttf="ariali.ttf"/></font>
    <font weight="bold"><font-data ttf="arialbd.ttf"/></font>
    <font weight="bold" style="oblique">
      <font-data ttf="arialbi.ttf"/></font>
  </font-family>
....
</font-group>

I have attached PDF and FO file to illustrate rendering this symbol.

Respectfully,
Volodymyr Rodymyuk
