RE: [xsl] character dagger

["Dunning, John" <JDunning@xxxxxxxxx>]

For HTML output, use encoding UTF-8; for PDF you will need to set the
font-family of the container to the name of the font you are embedding
(e.g., <fo:block font-family="foo">&#x2020;</fo:block>) and use the numeric
character reference for it; see the FOP docs about embedding fonts.  

Also, there is a list of Acrobat supported glyphs at
http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/TestSuite/contrib/FOP/fonts.pdf.

HTH,
John

I am using FOP 0.20.3 
I do see the dagger symbol (†) in the xml file (using nodepad).  Once I
apply the syle sheet † becomes ⤢, and in PDF † is #.  I realize that † is
not present in iso-8859-1.  There are other  characters I am using are in
iso-8859-1(such as  ± ). 

How can I make this happen? 

Thanks

the character '†'.  In the pdf file I have generated using xslt/fo displays
'†' as '#'.  In my xml file that has been generated by java application
shows '†'  as '⤢'.

Probably font your fo processor uses to output that chracter doesn't 
have such glyph. Which fo processor are you using and which font?
