On Linux with Sun J2SDK 1.4.0_01 it compiles fine.

It works fine, just two things:
1) If baseDir is set for example to "/opt/fop", FOP doesn't
add "/" at the end of baseDir as other systems commonly does,
so you can start use path for fonts like this:
<font metrics-file="../fop-fonts/arial-regular.xml"
kerning="yes"
embed-file="../fop-fonts/arial-regular.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
2) It would be nice, if baseDir can be set like Java property
on the command line, for example:
java -cp $FOP_CP -DbaseDir=/opt/fop org.apache.fop.apps.Fop a.fo
Then there won't be any absolute paths in userconfig.xml.

I have one more question. Will there be any improvements with
implementation of last-line-end-indent property in 0.20.4?
DocBook stylesheets use it for generating TOC and without this
property it doesn't look nice.
