unicode for Asterisk and star not working

[sreenaresh gopu-2]

Hello,

I was trying to print tear drop astrisk and six point star using Unicode but when the pdf is generated '#' is displayed.  But when I use the Unicode for bullet or hyphen it works fine.  when I used '•' for bullet the PDF had the bullet, but when I used any of the following three ended up getting '#'.

✶ (SIX POINTED BLACK STAR)
✻ (TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK)
✼ (OPEN CENTRE TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK)

Do I need to configure any additional fonts or am I using the unicode incorrect.  this is little confusing to me as when one unicode displays correctly and others don't. BTW I am using FOP 0.95 with default config (no additional configureations made).

Thanks for any tips.

Regards
Sreenaresh

Hi Sreenaresh,

Default font is Arial, which does not contain all unicode characters. If you did not change anything, you can't get the unicode characters. Install a full unicode font and use it. Then you should get all unicode characters.
