FOP versions up to FOP 0.95beta cannot produce all glyphs of a Type 1
font (simplified: only the WinAnsi characters). FOP Trunk as of revision
641742 (committed two hours ago, experimental!) can, if there's an AFM
file, the Type 1 font is not a CID font and the font is not registered
using an XML font metrics file but by auto-detection. I don't have any
chinese Type 1 fonts to test with so I can't tell if it will work at all.

As a rule of thumb, find a TrueType font with a Unicode CMap if you want
to produce chinese characters. That is known to work.
