Thanks for the explanation. You are describing steps to change the
font-family. The issue I have above is not with font-families, but with
font types. The generated pdf is referring to various Type 1 fonts
(Times, Helvetica, Courier). I have locally installed the equivalent
TrueType fonts, and told FOP about them in the configuration file. But
it still generates pdfs referring to unembedded Type 1 fonts.
The change of a font family doesn't even enter the picture here, or does
it ?

Thanks,
        Stefan
