I've modified FOP to support national characters in base 14 fonts (namely in Helvetica), using /BaseEncoding /WinAnsiEncoding /Differences [...] mechanism. It's rather cracking than improvement - because of my very limited time I was not able to code it better as I don't know FOP well enough. I hope that FOP developers will implement that solution making it more universal. 

Find attached modifications. I've used proper metric (src/codegen/fonts/Helvetica*.xml) provided by Bogusław Fries (he accept this contribution) and altered some source files from src/java/org/apache/fop/pdf, all modifications are surrounded by:
    // <tjudycki>
    // </tjudycki>
The last modified file is build.xml - parameter encoding is set to CEEncoding instead of WinAnsiEncoding.

The solution is described here http://tv.com.pl/stepbystep/fop_pdf/

Regards,

Tomasz Judycki
