This is as if the PDF font was ignoring my eastern characters. But I
feel the problem is in the output way, because eastern european
characters may require two encoding bytes.
Your feeling isn't quite correct. Check the FAQ:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/faq.html#pdf-characters
When using the (org.apache.fop.apps) Driver class, I have noticed that
the output must be an OutputStream, so this is not character compatible
but byte only compatible, it seems unicode cannot be processed correctly ?
PDF isn't text, it is a binary format. For details, check the PDF spec.
