Yes I have, but perhaps the fop font metrics are broken. It only happens when pdf is created, so the process seems to find the windows fonts somehow during chm creation.

Simhei&simsun are Chinese fonts. It's absolute nonsense to reference them in the Slovenian userconfig template. I'll clean that up.

Here I'm not convinced that we need this long font list at all. They're defaults anyway IMO and they didn't catch the edge case with the special characters. I'll make checks without the list.

The strange thing is that only the standard docbook texts like "chapter" and "preface" appear in cyrillic. Perhaps docbook defaults to cyrillic when Serbian is selected. This has IMO nothing to do with fonts.

Serbian cyrillic and Russian html chunker output has code page windows-1251. The cyrillic fonts seem to work fine in CHM and PDF.

Croatian, Slovenian and Slovak html output is set to windows-1250, I'll try setting Serbian latin to that code page too. Maybe that'll do the trick for the chm file.
If that doesn't help, I'll also set lang.target.code for the html help.

Generally the chm creation seems to bee less problematic now than PDF. It used to be the other way round :)

Cheers
