Wait a second... Did you also configure FOP to locate the "FreeSans.ttf" file? See: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/fonts.html#basics, and beyond If FOP is not specifically told to look elsewhere, and it would not find that TTF in the working directory, then as a result, it would still fall back to the default sans-serif and use the inappropriate metrics.
