Re: [docbook-apps] Right Arrow In GuiMenu Disappears XSL 1.72

    Well, my example had spaces around the character, just not easily visible
    in email. Otherwise your customization is fine.

    According to this page, FOP supports the Symbol font automatically as part
    of the base 14 fonts:

    http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/fonts.html#Base-14+Fonts

    It works for me on a Windows XP box. I haven't tried it on Linux. Perhaps
    someone else has seen this problem?
