No problem. If you want any advice this is what I'd do: First double check it's not a kerning issue in the system font. I think this is unlikely, but we need to double check that. I'd do that by copying the font, and embedding the font in the PDF with the #PCDATA as "Jo" (to do this you'll have to put it in the fop.xconf and use a non-Base14 name). If the #PCDATA text shows the same issues, the problem is a font one, and we can be fairly confident it's not a FOP issue.
If however this isn't repeatable with #PCDATA then we've got an issue. You'll already have the font in a local directory, so check it's type, check do some debugging in PDFPainter.drawText(...) and find out why the kerning is behaving as it is. i think it's a type1 font. I'll try and do the above myself if I get some time to spare. Just make sure you post any findings on the bugzilla entry so we can track it.
