Re: Problem with creation of font cache on Windows 7 64 bit
Hi Jonathan, The font caching was written prior to the Windows 7 release so it was never tested at the time. There is currently no way of telling Fop where to put its font cache but it shouldn't be too much effort to add this feature. I'll look at adding support for this. Adrian.

Re: Problem with creation of font cache on Windows 7 64 bit
Sorry Jonathan, I've just looked into the matter and realised that what I told you was incorrect (partially at least). 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
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.

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.

RE: RE: Problem with creation of font cache on Windows 7 64 bit
Hi Adrian,
Thanks for your help! I'm noticing behavior I did not expect after reading
your code and reading https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46686.
It looks like if "mkdir" fails, FOP will use the temp directory. However
testing this by pointing -Duser.home to a directory to which I do not have
write permissions on Windows XP, I don't see any font cache created. Instead,
it seems like fonts are completely reloaded each time with the
feature under turned on.
Reading the code, I see the following, which leads me to expect the temporary
directory would be used.
/**
* Returns the default font cache file.
* @param forWriting true if the user directory should be created
* @return the default font cache file
*/
public static File getDefaultCacheFile(boolean forWriting) {
File userHome = getUserHome();
if (userHome != null) {
File fopUserDir = new File(userHome, FOP_USER_DIR);
if (forWriting) {
boolean writable = fopUserDir.canWrite();
if (!fopUserDir.exists()) {
writable = fopUserDir.mkdir();
}
if (!writable) {
userHome = getTempDirectory();
fopUserDir = new File(userHome, FOP_USER_DIR);
fopUserDir.mkdir();
}
}
return new File(fopUserDir, DEFAULT_CACHE_FILENAME);
}
return new File(FOP_USER_DIR);
}

RE: RE: Problem with creation of font cache on Windows 7 64 bit
Hi,
Turning on tracing the problem is that while the font cache is being written to
the temporary directory:
[TRACE] FontCache - Writing font cache to C:\Documents and
Settings\levinson\Local Settings\Temp\.fop\fop-fonts.cache
The font cache is never read from the temporary directory. It is always read
from the place user.home points to. For the code to be able to use the
temporary directory, it would have to check to see if there is no .fop
directory in directory given by System property user.home and if there is no
.fop directory look under the temporary directory for .fop. I don't know if
this would be an acceptable change.
Best Regards,
Jonathan Levinson
