---------------------------------------------------------------
I agree, writing to writing to /tmp is probably not that useful, especially as
on some systems each process is siloed into its own tmp subdir, which would
prevent the cache from being shared or re-loaded. Containers are doomed anyway,
as the entire point is that they're ephemeral so the cache won't be persisted
between runs.

As an end-user, I'd prefer a default `$HOME/.something`, configurable via
system property.

Yes.

> FileSystemFontProvider cache instability

> Key: PDFBOX-3001
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3001
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: John Hewson
> Assignee: John Hewson
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 2.0.0

> Attachments: md5.diff, patch, patch

>
> FileSystemFontProvider uses Java's Preferences API to cache font metadata,
> however it doesn't seem to work out of the box on Windows (due to file
> permissions) and one user on the mailing list has complained that on Linux
> file paths with more than 80 characters can't be handed. Serializable is also
> slow.
> It looks like Preferences wasn't a good choice here. We're going to need to
> roll our own cache file format and save it somewhere we have write access to.
