Thanks, everyone. I figured out fonts in the Antenna House formatter. I'm
closer to satisfactory PDFs after two days of exploring xsl-fo than I was after
two weeks of trying to troubleshoot my old custom dsssl stylesheets on a new

Formatter. I got both of them up and running using xsltproc and the default xsl
stylesheet, with the SelfDocBook as a source xml file. Pdf from both looks good.

My toolchain is older and even more esoteric. As a longtime TeX user
I ended up writing a grown-by-accretion Perl script to translate
whatever subset of docbook I happen to be using into TeX/ConTeXt.
I think that, since then, the ConTeXt people have added direct XML and
