XSL-FO, mathematical symbols

I_love_bitsJun 24 2015 — edited Jun 29 2015

Dear experts,

I belive that I already know the answer of the following question.

Nevertheless I would like ask an expert...

I generate some custome reports in APEX with xsl-fo layout definition.

Everythingk works great.

Q: Does somebody know a way to print mathematical symbols into a PDF?

Lets say some LaTeX-String like "\sum_{n=1}" or more easy stuff like "2^3" (latex is just an example. could also be something else).

Is there a way that in the PDF the "2^3" string is converted to a "real" math "string" like "2³"?

I guess it is not possible, cause the pdf rendering engine does not understand anything like this!?

Kind regards,

rrr
