Thank you sir,
I was thinking to the output way because opening for instance a PS
output I had in a full text the character # that's why I was
thinking to a problem for encoding unicode, but indeed PDF is half text
and half binary.
Best regards,

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.
