Re: [docbook-apps] Incorrect characters in FO / PDF under windows

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

I'm not able to duplicate this problem.
The problem is not with FOP, because the extra
characters are in the FO file before FOP sees them.

The separator between the "1." and the title should be
one non-breaking space character, which when encoded
in the default UTF-8 output encoding should be a two character
sequence C2 A0 (hexadecimal).   When you view the
FO file with a typical text editor that assumes ISO-Latin-1
encoding, you will see A-caret and a non-breaking space, the characters
associated with C2 and A0, respectively, in ISO-Latin-1.

Are you using any kind of customization?  Exactly what command
are you using to process your files?  Does the FO output file
have an encoding="xxx" in the XML declaration at the top?
In my output from Saxon 6.5.3 I see:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
