Ah, I thought that FOP 0.93 had implemented font-selection-strategy, which
allows it to find the Symbol font automatically. But it doesn't, so that
has get fixed for fop1.extensions. In the meantime, use this parameter in
your customization:

<xsl:param name="menuchoice.menu.separator"><fo:inline
font-family="Symbol"> → </fo:inline></xsl:param>

Thanks.

I tried that and the spaces around the # disappeared, so I know I did
something. I'm attaching my customization file. Maybe I made a
typo. Can you tell me how FOP finds "Symbol"? My entities do not
have anything like Symbol as a file name.

Yes, there is a typo. The character reference for the arrow should be
→ (note the 'x').

Thank you so much. That fixed it. I'm still not getting right
arrows surrounded by spaces, but I think I like this format better.
