That's true.

I know. However, you need to insert your font somewhere, so the font-family
attribute maps to a font type.

Well, I guess it's a configuration issue. If you really want to use the
aequivalent to Times, Helvetica, and Courier, I've found a comment in the
"fop.xconf" file:
-----------
<fonts>
<!-- embedded fonts -->
<!--
This information must exactly match the font specified
in the fo file. Otherwise it will use a default font.
For example,
<fo:inline font-family="Arial" font-weight="bold" font-style="normal">
Arial-normal-normal font
</fo:inline>
for the font triplet specified by:
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
If you do not want to embed the font in the pdf document
then do not include the "embed-url" attribute.
The font will be needed where the document is viewed
for it to be displayed properly.
possible styles: normal | italic | oblique | backslant
possible weights: normal | bold | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400
| 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900
(normal = 400, bold = 700)
-->
<!--
<font metrics-url="arial.xml" kerning="yes" embed-url="arial.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
<font-triplet name="ArialMT" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
<font metrics-url="arialb.xml" kerning="yes" embed-url="arialb.ttf">
<font metrics-url="arialb.xml" kerning="yes" embed-url="arialb.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
<font-triplet name="ArialMT" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
</font>
-->
</fonts>
-----------
It seems to me, you need to remove the XML comment before <font metrics-url>
and add the path to the Arial TTF file. Same with the other two font types.
I haven't tried it out, but it could work. The other solution would be to use
a totally different font. In that case you have probably more glyphs available
than Arial or some Helvetica clone.
