Yes, that's true. Unfortunately I hadn't had the time to look into it. 
It's one of my todos on my list. Patches are welcome. :-)

You could try the DejaVu or LinuxLibertine fonts. However, you will 
soon hit the problematic field of typography: As far as I know, 
LinuxLibertine has only a serif font, they are working on a sans 
serif at the moment. 

DejaVu is rather complete and have serif, sans serif, and a monospace 
font. The monospace font is a bit too wide in my point of view.

Try to set the environment variable FOP_CONFIG_FILE.
