note that because Arial Unicode MS is an embeddable font, FOP will automatically embed the referenced glyphs in the output PDF; so you will likely find it unnecessary to distribute the font with the PDF output; furthermore, if I recall correctly, this font is under license from AGFA Monotype and not freely distributable (even though it is embeddable); see http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1081
