Subject: Re: [xsl] XML to PDF and greek letters
I have an XML file with some Greek letters represented by entities like
this:
<cell>είναι
they are not entity references they are character references (it makes a
difference to the XML parser if nothing else)
> I need these entities to transform the XML file to HTML.
well you'd get the same output however the characters were input,
whether as character references or as entity references (α etc for
a suitable definition of alpha, or as character data).

an FO renderer is supposed to be able to accept any unicode characters,
although if it doesn't have a suitable font it can print missing glyph
markers. You haven't given any indication of what goes wrong so it is
hard to give any help.
