Yes, it is a multithreaded environment. Fop version: 0.20.5 JDK version: 1.4.1_01 O/S: Win2000
So would this be caused by 2 threads using the same instance of a Driver, or 2 threads using the same instance of a compiled template, or something else? _________________________________ Jeremy Nix Southwest Financial Services, LTD.

The configuration for FOP is held in static variables. And since its falling over on the font stuff it sounds like the statics are getting corrupted. Possibly by two simultaneous calls to the Options constructor. You didnt give much info on your environment, are running FOP in a Mulit-threaded environment? What version of FOP you are using. I'm assuming 0.20.5. Chris _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
