Re: [xep-support] Fallback fonts for missing glyphs?

If you are using DocBook XSL, you can add it to the font list in the
'symbol.font.family' parameter. The default value is:

<xsl:param name="symbol.font.family" select="'Symbol,ZapfDingbats'"/>

Add a comma and your font name, and then that font will be included for body
and title text. If XEP is configured right, you should get it in your
output.
