Both are possible: using a config file and in code, although in code is
better if you don't know beforehand which directory it will be, i.e. you
have to determine it at runtime.
I simply couldn't believe that this shouldn't work and I wrote a little
test (see below) where I set the font base directory in code. It worked
with no problems. I used the same config file as shown earlier except
that I removed the "font-base" element.

fopFactory.setFontBaseURL(fopRoot.toURL().toExternalForm() +
"test/resources/fonts/");
FOUserAgent userAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
File fo = new File("C:/Dev/FOP/temp/help/MichaelBurke/relfont.fo");
File pdf = new File("D:/out.pdf");
OutputStream out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdf);
out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out);
Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, userAgent, out);
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(); // identity
transformer
Source src = new StreamSource(fo);
Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
transformer.transform(src, res);
// Result processing
FormattingResults foResults = fop.getResults();
System.out.println("Generated " + foResults.getPageCount() + " pages in
total.");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
System.out.println("FOP Version: " + Version.getVersion());
RelFonts app = new RelFonts();
app.doit();
} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();

}
