Mark,
Ever considered saving the RTF to WordML with Word 2003 and converting the WordML to XSL-FO using
the stylesheets available on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odc_wd2003_ta/html/OfficeWordWordMLtoXSL-FO.asp
(download the exe, that contains the xsl's you need)
It is written by XEP and tweaked for their parser, but it should work with FOP with only minor
adjustments..
Cheers,
Geert

Hi Jon,
Windows XP

Saxon parser
RTF documents using my own RTF to XSL converter (still in development).
Below is an example of the xslfo I am ouputting:
<fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">128 Ђ</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">129 Ѓ</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">130 ‚</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">131 ѓ</fo:block><fo:block
font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">132 „</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">133 …</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">134 †</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">135 ‡</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetica"
font-size="11" text-align="left">136 €</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="11" text-align="left">137 ‰</fo:block><fo:block font-family="Helvetic
a" font-size="11" text-align="left">138 Љ</fo:block>
And follow is the text extracted from the resulting pdf when the above xslfo is
run through fop:
128 ?
129 ?
130 ?
131 ?
132 ?
133 ?
134 ?
135 ?
136 ?
137 ?
138 ?
The numbers on the left obviously represent the extended ascii table code.
When I ouput the following xslfo:
<fo:block font-family="Symbol" font-size="11"
text-align="left">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</fo:block>
The pdf outputs ##########################
Apologies if I'm still not giving you the info you need. I don't fully
understand the process involved here. I assumed that if pdf supports arial etc
it would support the extended ascii codes. Is someone able to advise me what
is wrong with my xslfo code?
Thanks,
Mark

Might also want to look into embedding the font. This list
isn't too active with the XSL-FO side of XSL, so I don't know
how much help you can get there. I'd check out the manual
for whatever you're using (FOP, XEP) as these issues are
pretty common. It can be a pain dealing with character
sets/fonts but perhaps someone else has better info. As
Geert mentioned, you are best off using the Unicode characters.
Of course, might be more helpful if you described the process
and told us things like system environment, character sets of
input, character sets of outputs, documents, fonts tried,
and xsl-fo processor used.
