exactly... I found that there is a way to do it right
but it is not very ease, handy, etc...
you have to create font metrics file, go to fop config file and set the font
and the metrics file

does anybody knows a better way ?
or maybe when it will be fixed ? (ver. 2.0 of BIRT at the end of december?)

fop config file ? where I can found it ? In fop.jar is userconfig.xml
where I put my fonts definitions, but fop doesn't read this file.

Under system property FOP_CONFIG_FILE is stored path to userconfig.xml
file where are fonts def.

You can put this:
System.setProperty("FOP_CONFIG_FILE", confPath);
before birt engine creating.
