         <p>This feature allows you to create JAR files containing fonts. The 
JAR files can be added to fop by providem them in the classpath, e.g. copying 
them into the lib/ directory.</p>

+            Apache FOP maintains a cache file that is used to speed up 
auto-detection. This file
+            is usually found in the ".fop" directory under the user's home 
directory. It's called
+            "fop-fonts.cache". When the user's home directory is not writable, 
the font cache file
+            is put in the directory for temporary files.
+          </p>
+          <p>
+            If there was a problem loading a particular font, it is flagged in 
the cache file so
+            it is not loaded anymore. So, if a font is actually around but is 
still not found
+            by Apache FOP, it's worth a try to delete the font cache file 
which forces Apache FOP
+            to reparse all fonts.
