I did try this. But I'm not sure how to use it in the font= representation. 
This is what I have in my fop.xconf file:

      <font kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/arial.ttf">
          <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
          <font-triplet name="ArialMT" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
        </font>

        <font kerning="yes" embed-url="file:///C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/arialbd.ttf">
          <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
          <font-triplet name="ArialMT" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
        </font>

Thanks!

Ming

Arial and Arial Bold are separate Fonts. This isn't clear to Font newbies 
because of MS Word's ability to mimic Bold and Italic Font variants from the 
regular Font. So if you need Bold and Italic variants of Arial you must 
register them separately within fop.xconf, e.g.

<font kerning="yes"
       embed-url="file:///C:/windows/fonts/arialbd.ttf">
      <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
   </font>
