Is it impolite to ask a XSL:FO question here?
If so, could you please suggest a more aprt forum?

And...is it impolite to ask about Unicode font support?
If not, how are people handling rendering of high UTF-8
characters on a WIndows platform, as BOLD and ITALIC
and BOLD ITALIC?

I'm using the standard ArialUnicodeMS font, but it doesn't
support Bold and Italic (according to Apache FOP), so when
I do <xsl:fo wrapper font-family="ArialUnicodeMS" font-style="italic">,
I get a 'no such font' error.

Does anyone know of a freeware Type I or TTF font Unicode font
with all glyphs present?

Or -- has anyone written a stylesheet to manipulate the fonts to create
a bold or italic effect?  (The former sounds likely, the latter impossible,
but I am just guessing.)

Thanks in anticipation of any pointers
lee
