Hi
After reading the documentation again, I found out that's it was necessary to set-up font metrics-file in the configuration file. Any way it works fine now.

There is another issue that might be related to the issue with the poor quality. If I have understand the documentation correctly, when you send it to the printer it use the AWT Java API to renderers the document and the font that are available on the system. When I run my little test program I can see that "Arial" should be available, but when I tell my xsl use another font then "Times Roman" it report an error "unknown font Arial,normal,bold so defaulted font to any" My test program: java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment ge = java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(); String[] fontNames = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames(); for (int i = 0; i < fontNames.length; i++) { System.out.println(fontNames[i]); } This is an example where I specify the font-family in xls file "<fo:block font-family="Arial" font-size="10pt" break-after="page">" Could my problem be related to it use a default font, and how do I tell FOP to use Arial when it renderers the document in AWT?

If your printer's fonts are very different from those specified in the PDF, the change can be very noticeable (and often very unattractive). If your printer has a setting to not substitute, try that. If the printer has such a setting, it will (usually) treat all the text as graphics, which will adversely effect speed, but you may get the output you want. Of course, it could be many other things, too.
