Producing PrintQuailty PDF with Apache fop

How can I produce print quality PDF files with Apache fop?
With  -pdfprofile PDF/A-1b I get a complaint that fop can't
embed the
font Helvetica-Bold, because it can't be found. What is the
reason?
I am using Mac OS X 10.4.10 Tiger.

Embedding one of the base14 fonts (of which Helvetica is
one) can be a 
problem if you don't own the font.  Most PDF browsers and
printers have a 
built-in Helvetica font, so an application like fop just
needs the font 
metrics (character widths)  to specify and typeset
Helvetica, relying on 
the downstream renderer to supply the font outlines when the
text is 
rendered.  I don't know if a Mac OS X has the font outlines
for Helvetica.
