Great, send a mail and then you find the solution.
The font xml file generated with org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader
was run with -enc ansi. That "Limited to WinAnsi character set, which is
roughly equivalent to iso-8889-1." Without this option eg. CID-keyed
the font work and the arrows appears!
The penalty seems to be "Search, index, and cut-and-paste operations in the
output document will produce incorrect results." but I hope it will not be too
bad.
Oops copy-paste generates characters like \U00100028 etc...
Are there any other way ?
The comment was "(FOP currently doesn't emit the /ToUnicode table which is
necessary for copy/paste to work.)"
The bug being
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40467
according to
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5335
there might be a solution in trunk
Back to bleeding edge software testing.
