This () is not a Chinese character, it's a control character
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_Out ). It's either a wrong
input file, which means that the file should be checked so that no
control characters are present, or the file is read using the wrong
encoding.
With FOP 0.95 you don't need to generate metrics files anymore, just
use the font file directly.
After I removed the metrics file, I stopped getting  related
error. It might be possible that the control character got introduced
while creating metrics file.
I'm now able to generate the PDF file but it does not display Chinese
characters. Instead, its showing sequence of # characters wherever
chinese characters are expected. This seems to be occurring because
PDF is not able to find the supported fonts to display these characters.
In my xsl file, I have set font-family attribute to "uming" wherever I
want to display chinese characters but the font is not being picked
up. I have also tried to install it to my System Library (Macintosh HD
-> Library -> Fonts) but all in vain.
Can you please guide me the steps to display Chinese characters
properly using uming.ttf file (custom font file to display Simplified
Chinese Characters). Where should I place this font file or what
configuration changes I should do so that font file is correctly
picked up.
Thanks & Regards,

Please note that I have generated the metrics file (uming.xml) for
the
same and configured it through fopConfiguration.xml before running
xslt
through FOP.

Can you please guide me if I'm doing anything wrong or I'll be able
to
generate Chinese file at all using FOP 0.95?
Yes, FOP works very well with Chinese text.
