BTW did you know since fop 0.95 that all this mess is not required anymore. See for instance:

http://www.mail-archive.com/docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org/msg11702.html

...
Note that starting from FOP 0.95 (and unofficially from FOP 0.94) this
is no longer required to generate XML metrics files for fonts. You can
rely on the font discovery mechanism described in the section “Basic
font configuration” at the following link:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html#basics
and that should be just it.
...


Here is my fop.xconf (We are using DevaVu and OpenSymbol):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fop version="1.0">
  <renderers>
    <renderer mime="application/pdf">
      <filterList>
        <!-- provides compression using zlib flate (default is on) -->
        <value>flate</value>
      </filterList>
      <fonts>
        <auto-detect/>  <!-- IMPORTANT -->
      </fonts>
    </renderer>
  </renderers>
</fop>


Since all my fonts are in /usr/share/fonts (*), it works out of the box
