Sorry to be late here, but to clear up a couple of things:
- For TrueType fonts, the XML font metrics files are not necessary
anymore. <auto-detect/> or <directory> will work just fine.
- Support for all glyphs in a Type 1 fonts has been added to FOP after
the 0.95 release branch. With FOP Trunk, your Type 1 fonts with cyrillic
characters should work, but not with 0.95 as you noticed.
