Uhm, why would you want to do such a thing in an XSL-FO environment? Anyway, you need access to the FontInfo object that is attached to the PDFRenderer (somehow). If you set up the PDFRenderer yourself and set it using FOUserAgent.setRendererOverride(), that could work. From there, you can get a FontTriplet using FontInfo.fontLookup(). With a FontTriplet you can get a Font object using FontInfo.getFontInstance(). The units from the Font object will most likely be millipoints (a 1000th of a point, our internal unit). You can use UnitConv to convert those. Sorry, I don't have a recipe ready at hand. I've never had to do something like that from outside FOP.
