I believe FOP supports OpenType fonts whose glyphs are described in the
TrueType format, but you won’t have access to the OpenType special
features like advanced ligatures or glyph selection. TrueType fonts are
definitely supported, so you probably have something wrong with your
configuration file. Have a look at the following page:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/fonts.html
If that doesn’t help I suggest you to ask your question and provide
details to the fop-users mailing list:
