You probably mean he built a binary from a checkout of the Trunk.

Well if it worked fine in June, that should also work in the released 
0.94 version. Nothing changed in this area meanwhile. The feature you’re 
refering to is probably the implementation of UAX#14: in short, proper 
line breaking depending on the kind of characters found on the line.

Depends on what you exactly mean by bullet points ;-)

Not sure what you’re talking about here.

Well the build in English should certainly work well. Regarding your 
wordwrapping issue for Japanese I suggest you to provide details on the 
fop-users mailing list [1], as it is more appropriate to discuss FOP 
related issues. Please describe your problem thoroughly (people there 
aren’t Japanese specialists), attach an FO file resulting from the 
transformation of the DocBook source, and possibly a screenshot of the 
rendering you’re expecting.
