    I believe this is a FOP limitation,including 0.95, supposedly fixed in the
    trunk
    version[1]. Is anyone using the trunk version of FOP that can test this
    problem?

    The current workaround is to put the character inside an fo:inline with an
    explicit setting of font-family="Symbol". My book describes a way to do
    that:

    Yes, that’s right. However...

    ... people may want to stick to that approach for the moment, as on my
    small test I noticed baseline alignment issues, that don’t appear when
    using fo:inline.
