That doesn't sound good. Does this mean fixing the problem will be difficult?
If you look into the following classes this is where most of the relevant things happen.
org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTextPainter
org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTextElementBridge
You may need to delve into batik somewhere to work out exactly how the fonts work. But I think batik needs to have a java font available for it to get information from.
