You've used non-standard (custom) fonts. FOP 0.20.5 doesn't
generate the data structures which are necessary for proper searching
contents displayed with non-standard fonts.

Your options:
a) Use predefined fonts only, don't use non-standard fonts.
b) Generate the metrics using ansi encoding (use the -enc ansi command
  line option when starting the TTF reader)


Also when I try to copy some text from this pdf reports and try pasting
it in some text editor instead of text it shows ?.


Same problem.

This should not happen unless two (or more) side flows anchored at the
same line are stacked. I'm not sure whether the spec has additional
guidelines.


- would you expect a side-float being split on several pages?


This can be controlled using keeps. So yes, side floats should probably
be broken across pages by default, if such breaks are possible.


- would you expect different layouts, depending on whether a set of
 side-floats would be placed on the middle of a page or at the bottom
 (thus, with some of them on the current page and the others on the
 following page)?


Probably yes. I have some difficulty imaging what you actually have in
mind.

Vincent, in considering this, you may wish to also keep in mind:  what 
do you see as the usage difference between side-floats and the 
xsl:region-start and xsl:region-end regions?  I mention this, just to 
make sure that use cases actually intended for side regions do not move 
into side-floats, and vice-versa.

To help me make a decision, I'd like to know which usage you would make
of side-floats: on a general manner, what sort of typographic material
would you typeset using side-floats? Particular things of which we don't
think in the first place?

More specifically, as the XSL-FO recommendation allows some freedom in
these areas:
- would you expect a side-float being placed on another page than its
 anchor? Would you prefer the whole chunk of text to be deferred on the
 following page?

Any comments, remarks, hints of all sort would be welcome.

Thanks,
Vincent

RE: Does FOP not care about section.autolabel.max.depth?

Yes it was a docbook thin, sorry for that.
The problem was that the sub sections were stored in a para element
instead in another section element.
Thanks

No, this property does not tell FOP anything. It tells docbook.xsl how 
to create the XSL-FO. This is a docbook problem ask on the docbook 
mailing list.
