I'm jumping in here last minute but...
I am a little confused as to why you are "building FOP". We currently are dealing with Japanese customers, and have had no issues. Here is What I did:
Generate the appropriate font metrics file
Configure FOP via the fop-config.xml file to use and embed the font
Reference the "font-family" in your stylesheet
I might be missing something... Why are you trying to "build FOP". I can't speck for the developers, but I am assuming FOP was designed in such a way that you "use" fonts regardless of language, country etc... And you don't have to rebuild FOP to do so.

Subject: Re: Help required for Japanese FOP
Hi Balaji,
Your artical is very informative. Thanks for it. I referred to your artical. But, I am still facing problems. Bascially, my problem is related to building FOP with Japanese support (MSGothic) fonts. As per my previous mail, I generated font metrics file. But in that so many parameters are missing. For example "class-name", "embedFileName", "embedResourceFile" etc.. This thing I came to know when I looked into the MSGothic.java file. Apart from this, there are other parameters (actually variables in MSGothic.java file) like "lastChar", "firstChar" are also not initialized. So, it is basically problem of generated wrong .java file (i.e. MSGothic.java). I don't know from where will I get resource file and values for these parameters. So, if you can guide me then I will be very thankful to you.
I hope you can understand my problem.
thanks,
Sanket.
