OK, I tried with other fonts and it works fine. Actually I'm just starting to experiment on the following process : I receive data from an application which generates an XML file from Excel and Word data. XML nodes which are created to represent Word data have an attribute wich refers to a CSS stylesheet, and childs (representing paragraphs with html-like tags) may have "style" attributes that contains info on fonts or other style stuff. This is fine to generate html that "looks like" the original Word data with an xsl stylesheet that link to the CSS. But with fop I don't know how to refer either to the CSS stylesheet nor to take into account the other style attributes ... which, in the real world, will sometimes contain wingding font !
Any hint is welcome, in case you feel this has to deal with the fop issues ...
