This is a file.fo , I want change to file.pdf , and it finished to file.pdf .
If that text is English ,that file.pdf is OK.
but if that text is Chinese ,that file.pdf will not show right Chinese.

Please tell me , what should I do .

Are you sure the fo file is encode correctly? Which fo-to-pdf are you using? Does it support big5?

I use fop-0.20.5 , and run
[root@Local fo]# /home/fop-0.20.5/fop.sh -fo /root/file.fo -pdf /root/file.pdf
[INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser
[INFO] FOP 0.20.5
[INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser
[INFO] building formatting object tree
[INFO] setting up fonts
[INFO] [1]
[INFO] Parsing of document complete, stopping renderer
[root@Local fo]#

So,that file.pdf is encode correctly.
English or Chinese are encode correctly , but everyone Chinese word is show # .
If I input 4 Chinese word ,will show 4 # .

Or,what kind of program is good for .fo to .pdf ?
