Cyrillic Characters not showing on PDF with Cyrillic Font

["Daniel, Gillian" <Gi...@Petrotechnics.com>]

Hi there,
I am sorry to bother you all again about my Cyrillic Font problem, but I have gotten further now and think that perhaps someone might have a better idea of what I can do now.

I have checked the various stages, from creating an XML file with castor with all the information from the database to be included in the PDF, to transforming this XML file and my XSL file to the input required to create the PDF with javax.xml.transform.Transformer.  In the files, you can see the Russian Characters which are supposedly viewable on my PDF.

I have downloaded various TTF fonts, which are meant to be able to handle Cyrillic characters.  I followed the instructions on how to create an metrics.xml file for each one and have declared them in my userconfig.xml file.  The only problem is, I still get #### instead of the words, or nothing at all.

I have no idea what to do now, and was hoping perhaps someone could point me to a font that will work, or tell me exactly what I am doing wrong.
I can provide any other information you might require.  I am a novice at this, as this is my first job since graduating from university, so any help would be so very gratefully appreciated.

Your hopefully
Gillian Daniel

Most likely there is still some error somewhere, check out FOP debug messages. 
Are you sure FOP uses your userconfig.xml for starters?
