Mike,
I'm astonished how fast and helpful your answer was.
I found the font "Lucida Sans Unicode" which is part of the Win2K fonts and contains the necessary cyrillic font subset.
Then I generated the necessary xml file for it and embedded the font in the userconfig.xml and - voila! the russian characters show up correctly!
I wouldn't have thought that this is so easy!
The only typo I found in the userguide is:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html#type1-metrics
|
They forgot the trailing / at the end of the font-triplet tag, so this would throw a parsing exception.
Thanks a lot for your support Mike,
Johannes

Johannes,
The # indicates that the font you are using has no glyph for that
character. You have to use a font that works with your characters.
You can test this out by using MS Word and the character map. If you
need to use a ttf font you will have to follow the directions for
making an xml metrics file in your fonts.xml file at the apache fop
site.
I had the same problem.
