Hi Vincent and team, I won't comment on the whole thing as IMO there's one element which narrows down the choices a lot (but thanks for the detailed explanations):

I think having such a dependency on a one-man show project for a key part of FOP would be a bad idea. Even if the one man was Knuth himself...well, maybe we'd make an exception for Knuth, but not for mere mortals. So, IMHO the only remaining options are either to fork aXSL, or to not use it in FOP. As you mention, FOP's font stuff is not far from aXSL's stuff today. One thing that you didn't mention is the handling of OpenType fonts with PostScript (CFF) outlines, does aXSL do that? -Bertrand
