<font size="-1">The problem is that much of the point of docbook is
that a single set of sources can be spun to different formats.
Spin it with docbook2pdf and you get a pdf. Spin it with
docbook2html and you get html. Spin that the right way and you
can get epub. Since html and epub spins both really do understand
that ‽ is an interrobang, I'm kinda stuck with spitting
out </font><font size="-1">an ‽ when I need an
interrobang. (SGML docbook doesn't support conditionals, so
there's no way that's not insanely complex to condition the output
based on the target.)</font><br>

I'd just like to mention that \Character is not a pdftex
primitive.

I surmise the issue is with the packages (whatever they are)
that
<br>
you're using. As far as I can tell from the descriptions, the
problem is
<br>
not with pdftex (the program) itself. --best, karl.

Well, as I said, I do not know doctopdf (or doctotex) -- I only
tried to
<br>
find a method to solve the problem.
<br>
But if it is possible to redefine \Character this means that
<br>
\Character{} is passed to the intermediate .tex-file.
<br>
And then \textinterrobang would also be passed to it, wouldn't it?
<br>
And since this works with pdflatex it could be used directly.
<br>
<br>
Or am I wrong? Peter
