Peppo, I assume you're using the current Batik release. I recommend you download Apache FOP 1.0 [1] and switch Batik's pdf-transcoder.jar with FOP's build/fop-transcoder-allinone.jar. There have been some improvements since the last Batik release and since the FOP 0.95 release. By default, the PDFTranscoder should be enabling the "auto-fonts" feature and therefore make available all operating system fonts for use in PDF output. [2] might also help.
