If you are using less sophisticated methods, you 'might' get away with setting the encoding for the XML document correctly ( the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1"?> ), but it would still not produce the character sequence "é", but the character directly.

Alas, setting the XML encoding as ISO-8859-1 doesn't help:

[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
[ERROR] Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Trying to force UTF-8 in the header gets the same result.

However, a light bulb went off. I picked out the offending chapters (fortunately, only 3 of them in a 477-page mss) and did a quick search-and-replace.

And lo, it all now works perfectly.

Rather than muck with someone else's perl, I'll write a post-processor program to do substitution.
