<font size="-1">I'm writing a document in SGML Docbook (yes, I know
I should be using XML, but it's one of those legacy things...) in
which I use an "interrobang," (unicode U+0203D, html &x8253).
The process of converting the SGML to PDF goes through pdftex, but
pdftex doesn't seem to understand \Character{8253} and renders it
as "<8253>". I'm reasonably sure that the font I'm using
contains that character.<br>
<br>
More or less guessing what I'm doing, I've done what I think needs
to happen to incorporate the font I modified to include the
interrobang--run mktexlsr, updmap-user, and updmap -sys--but the
problem persists.<br>
<br>
So my questions are, is this really because pdftex doesn't
understand </font><font size="-1"><font size="-1">\Character{8253},
and is there anything I can do to increase its understanding?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
