I already told you what the problem is: FOP has a problem with TrueType
fonts that don't contain cmap tables. Someone has to take a look and try
to fix it if this is to be solved.

Yes, the "base 14" fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier, ZapfDingbats and
Symbol) are "built-in". Your probably didn't see Times because it might
be replaced internally by your PDF viewer by another, similar font with
a different name. As long as the text is displayed correctly, you're ok.
No need to explicitely (re)define the base 14 fonts.

Why? Was there a problem?

That's not a good argument. Barcode4J doesn't even require a font. It
generates the barcodes as graphics.
