Basically yes, if the font used doesn't contain the glyph then a) FOP cannot calculate how much space to reserve for the character and it makes some default assumption and b) when displaying the PDF the PDF viewer has no means of rendering the character. I assume you know how to configure using fonts other than the default PDF fonts. If not see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.92/fonts.html.
