Please read my answers *very* *carefully* as what you want to do is not
that simple (whether you use XXE or not).

First of all I created a custom section:

About your customization:
1) It implies that you are authoring DocBook V4.x (old) documents, not
DocBook V5.x documents.
2) <xsl:param name="body.font.family">Arialuni</xsl:param> may not give
you the results you'll expect.
An alternative would be to leave the stock generic fonts (serif,
sans-serif, etc) as specified in docbook.xsl and instruct (using XXE
preferences) FOP, the PDF generator, to *map* generic fonts to custom
fonts like "Arialuni"
(I don't know "Arialuni"; is it "Arial Unicode MS"?)
3) This template looks a bit strange to me. Why the fo:inline? You could
set the font and color attributes directly on the fo:block.
<xsl:template match="para[@role='original']">
<fo:block>
<fo:inline font-size="11pt" color="blue" font-weight="400">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
Anyway, let's suppose that you know what you are doing. So my answers
below will be *precisely* about the above customization.
These are my questions:
Where can I find/open the complete stylesheet to be able to find
matching sections?
I'm sorry but I don't understand.
Do you want to know where to find "docbook-config:xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"?
It's here:
XXE_INSTALL_DIR/addon/config/docbook/xsl/fo/
-------
The declaration of font does not work: All characters look like '#'.
I need this to display the I Ching hexagrams (e.g. ䷆ ䷇ ䷄ )
Arialuni is the name of the ttf-font. Do I have to use another name?
Procedure letting FOP, the PDF generator, know about a font family:
1) Select menu item "Options|Preferences".
2) In the dialog box, select the "Add-on|FOP" section.
3) Click "Add".
4) In the other dialog box, use the Browse files button to specify the
location of your TTF font file. See attached screenshot.
Note that you must set <xsl:param name="body.font.family"> to the exact
name displayed by this dialog box.
5) Click "OK" twice to close the dialog boxes.
6) Restart XXE.
This setting is done once for all.

Then I would like to use "para" elements modified with "role".
I already saw this syntax working (see above). Can you please tell me
what is wrong here?
Procedure letting you use the above customization. Let's suppose you
saved it in file "C:\Users\Jorg\Documents\custom_docbook.xsl".
1) Open one of your DocBook V4.x documents in XXE. (Your customization
would NOT work for DocBook V5.x documents whether you use XXE or not.)
2) Select menu item "Options|Customize Configuration|Customize Document
Conversion Stylesheets"
(http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/customizeConfigurationMenu.html)
3) This displays a dialog box
(http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/ConversionStylesheetsEditor_reference.html).
Select "Convert to PDF, Postscript".
4) In the "XSLT stylesheet" frame click "Add".
5) This displays another dialog box.
A) Use the "Specify XSLT file" next to the the "Add existing XSLT
stylesheet" field to specify your
"C:\Users\Jorg\Documents\custom_docbook.xsl" custom XSL file.
B) Describe what it does in the "Description" field.
C) Click OK to close the dialog box.
6) Click OK to close the "Customize Document Conversion Stylesheets"
dialog box and to apply your settings.
This is done once for all as these settings are remembered by XXE.
