This is still a limitation.

FOP is currently unable to properly use a TrueType font when not using
it in WinAnsi mode (-enc ansi). The reason for this: By default FOP
subsets the TrueType font. If it can embedd the font, all is well. But
the code was not tested to behave well when the TrueType font is only
referenced.

The obvious work-around is to embedd the font even if it is available on
the target machine. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the redesign.

Sorry for the delay. I don't have much time lately.
