Font-changing with RW-file?

Is there any way to use a RW-file to change the font on a single character during import of an xml-file?

The std-font I use doesn't have all the characters I need to present, so I have to use an other font for the greek-characters. Have spent some time with the Structured Application Developer Reference, but have not found any solution yet...

Does this question belong in the Structured FM forum?

If so, I can't answer it .

If the troublesome characters are coming in as uniques, or can be made to do so by R/W rules, then you might be able to use Find/Change to batch change [By pasting] them all to Variables (or to characters with the necessary Character Format applied).

I'd be tempted to buy a more fully populated Unicode font (or use one of the free ones).

Thread moved to Structured.

How is the character represented in the xml? You can control entities, as well as controlling how elements are represented, but if it's "just" a character, you may need stronger measures than the RW rules.

I'm  afraid it's "just" a character, so it seems like I have ti go further back to the XSLT's to solve it. Was hoping for a soultion in my end, - but ...

Thanks anyway!

Yep, didn't want to toss that into the mix, but I think that's the way to go, and that you already suspected as much.
