You are lucky, because somebody just mailed the below information to me.
Teus.
I have figured out how to get FOP to use a Unicode font so it will
include the Unicode characters.
I can do it manually by telling it to load a user configuration file.
I've attached the user config file which works for using the Charis SIL
font family. You also have to create font metrics files for your fonts
with the TTF reader utility, as described on the FOP web site
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/fonts.html
