A font substitution facility to handle this requirement has recently
been added to FOP Trunk. I've just updated the website but it will take
a few hours until the web server is synchronized. So I'll just paste the
documentation here for your convenience:
Substitution
When a <substitutions/> section is defined in the configuration, FOP
will re-map any font-family references found in your FO input to a given
substitution font.
* If a <substitution/> is declared, it is mandatory that both a
<from/> and <to/> child element is declared with a font-family
attribute.
* Both font-weight and font-style are optional attributes, if they
are provided then a value of 'normal' is assumed.
For example you could make all FO font-family references to 'Arial' with
weights between 700 and 900 reference the normal 'Arial Black' font.
<fop version="1.0">
<fonts>
<substitutions>
<substitution>
<from font-family="Arial" font-weight="700..900"/>
<to font-family="Arial Black"/>
</substitution>
<substitution>
<from font-family="FrutigerLight"/>
<to font-family="Times" font-weight="bold" font-style="italic"/>
</substitution>
</substitutions>
</fonts>
</fop>
This will pop up here later:

Feedback is welcome as it's a new feature!
