Using AH
  I have set up normal, italic and bold separate fonts in the 
font-config.xml file.

I need to give the formatter a request to make use of that config 
information (if that makes sense).
font-family does that? I.e. choose from this list as appropriate.

Hence I need
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; 
font-family="aries, ariesItalic, ariesBoldOSfigs, din,Symbol,ZapfDingbats"
....


I think it's pagesetup.xsl the body.fontset param?
merges the fonts?

It does copy the contents of $body.font.family through (including 
commas!), so it must have been something odd I was doing.

Now working, thanks for your reply.
Sorry to waste bwidth.
