try the following:
1. rewrite your fop conf file to read as follows:
...
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>
<auto-detect/>
</fonts>
</renderer>
...
2. rm ~/.fop/fop-fonts.cache
then rerun to see if you get different behavior;
the two changes above ensure that FOP has access to the system supplied
fonts (via auto-detect), and that the FOP font cache is rebuilt prior to
formatting
