Re: Problem with creation of font cache on Windows 7 64 bit
Hi Jonathan, I have just committed a fix to the missing cache-file configuration option (see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/configuration.html#general-elements) to the Fop trunk code. All the documentation regarding font caching should now reflect the actual implementation. I also added a convenience -delete-cache option to the Fop command line as quite a few users have previously asked how to delete/clear this file (when not knowing its location on the filesystem). Hope this helps, Adrian.

If you take a look at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/configuration.html#general-elements you'll see that there is a cache-file option that you can provide to tell Fop where you would like your font cache file to be created. Unfortunately this documentation does not reflect the current state of the system. At some stage during further development of the font caching mechanism, this setting was lost as a configuration setting and instead Fop tries to always store the font cache file in the user's home directory. I will work this weekend on reinstating this feature and integrate it into the current font caching system. Cheers, Adrian.

RE: Problem with creation of font cache on Windows 7 64 bit
Thank you Adrian! Also I've noticed you can redirect the font-cache with the Java system property -Duser.home, so one can direct it to a different place by editing the JAVAOPTS set in fop.bat.

Hi Jonathan, Well spotted, yes that should work well also. Although its a bit of a sneaky back door way of achieving it : -). Cheers, Adrian.
