Hi Kamal,
FYI, the Unix autodetect feature looks in the following locations for
fonts it can use :-
java user.home + "/.fonts",
"/usr/local/fonts",
"/usr/share/fonts",
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
As Jeremias says, you can configure FOP to look in a particular
<directory/> (see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html).

Auto detection and auto registration of custom fonts sounds good.
Can we have more info?
Well, it's not perfect, yet, but the basic idea is that users should
not need to worry about registering custom fonts. If the Arial
TrueType font is present on the system where FOP runs, then the user
should now be able to use that font in his FO documents without
taking any additional steps (like generating metrics and registering
triplets in the configuration file).
How does this work in a Unix environment?
Some known font locations are preconfigured in FOP. FOP goes looking for
fonts in those directories. Additional locations can easily be
configured in the user configuration.
