Can you clarify? Because that's precisely what I wrote. Perhaps we have
some misunderstanding on what the font-selection-strategy means and/or
what "picked" means (who picks what by what criteria?).
Can you provide a simple input (XML) output (XSL-FO) example that
currently renders incorrectly, but which is a little bit more elaborate
then the "A=E3=81=82" string example? I.e., how would you deal with the
selection of the font and what do you expect FOP to do for you?

We don't want to specify fonts char-by-char, we want them picked.

I'm under the impression that Benson means selection strategy based on
availability. Suppose the "A" is available in Candara, but the other
letters/symbols are not, and the needed font selection strategy is
"character by character" then the result must be similar to what you wrote,
but automatically so. According to
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html#selection this is not
implemented yet.
Note that "auto" (which is implemented) means "the selection criterion is
implementation defined". For FOP that means (afaik) that word boundaries and
element boundaries work and that the "largest portion of a text or word
that's available in a particular font" will be chosen. In the example above,
the Gothic font will be used, because that has the largest part of the
word/text.
Changing to "character-by-character" means that each character is considered
individually.
Naturally, if Candara would contain all capital letters only, choosing
character-by-character in the following:
<fo:inline font-family="Caldara, 'Century Gothic'">A=E3=81=82</fo:inline>
then the rendering with character-by-character would be equivalent with the
following:
<fo:inline font-family="Caldara">A</fo:inline>
<fo:inline font-family="'Century Gothic'">=</fo:inline>
<fo:inline font-family="Caldara">E</fo:inline>
<fo:inline font-family="'Century Gothic'">3=81=82</fo:inline>
Obviously, either this or the original example from Benson cannot be
achieved with current means (unless you add some rather prolific XSLT 2.0
preprocessing, i.e., give it a list of fonts and do the selection strategy
in the earlier processing step, using some home-brewed extension functions,
which could be a possible alternative while waiting for the implementation).

Abel

I don't have a font called "MS Gothic" on my XP / Word 2007 PC, so
i've used "Century Gothic" instead, but subject to that, and assuming
the relevant fonts are available, isn't this just:
<fo:block>
<fo:inline font-family="Candara">A</fo:inline>
<fo:inline font-family="Century
Gothic">=E3=81=82</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
with a config such as:

<strict-configuration>true</strict-configuration>
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
