We are using the API for font subsetting and font merging:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/src/java/org/apache/fop/fonts/truetype/OTFFile.java?view=markup

Looking at the code I see you're embedding CFF fonts. This is probably where
the biggest API changes have been. The reason is that the old FontBox API
conflated two different kinds of font, CIDFonts and Type 1-equivalent fonts,
both of which can be represented as a CFF. Any code using the old API is
guaranteed to be buggy in fairly major ways.
These two fonts types work in very different manners, Type 1-equivalent fonts
have an encoding which maps PostScript names to glyphs. CIDFonts do not have
any encoding and use CIDs to index glyphs numerically. The new APIs in 2.0
reflect this, and CFFont has been split into two subclasses CFFType1Font and
CFFCIDFont, one with a name-based API and the other with a CID-based API.
