I am using FOP 0.95.

You have a character set problem. I've run your block through three formatters and I didn't get consistent results until I changed the font family to "Times New Roman", which is a font on Windows that supports U+0107.

It appears the built-in Times and Helvetica font for PDF does not include U+0107; and you'll have to deal with embedding a font of your choice that does have the required characters.

Looking at:

... I note that Latin 1 characters are supported by default, but not Latin 2. The character you want, U+0107, is in Latin 2 but not Latin 1:

I hope this helps.
