Dear M. Shafie, This is a concern we have about fonts with FOP (we mentioned this a couple of months ago, but it seems that it will become soon a serious issue for us).
We have special characters in our documentation kit that are not rendered by the default fonts, especially Greek and Cyrillic ones. To have these rendered correctly, we have to customize the FOP addon with the correct fonts (we use DejaVu-LGC fonts). This works fine for a couple of users, but it does not scale very well, especially when the DocBook to PDF transformation is performed by batch programs; having DejaVu-LGC used by all users would mean individually launching XMLMind, configuring FOP addon, etc etc. This is not practical in our case. So our question is the following: could it be possible to configure the font being used by FOP directly from within XMLMind fop-addon distribution, as it is done for instance for MathML (which also uses DejaVu fonts I believe ?). Any other way to specify a path for FOP fonts during XMLMind customization (we customize XMLMind before we make it available to our users, so they do not have to bother about which addons to download etc etc), would also be perfectly fine. Many thanks for your help and suggestions, Best regards.
