Numeric character references don't work since you can't reliably predict what glyph will be displayed for that value. What is wrong with the SDATA entities anyway? Is there an alternative suggestion such that you can use a symbolic name for the desired glyph so that the application can then use whatever font is available that contains that glyph? bob Robert Streich streich@slb.com Schlumberger voice: 1 512 331 3318 Austin Research fax: 1 512 331 3760
