Sorry Jonathan, I've just looked into the matter and realised that what I told you was incorrect (partially at least).
If you take a look at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/configuration.html#general-elements you'll see that there is a "cache-file" option that you can provide to tell Fop where you would like your font cache file to be created. Unfortunately this documentation does not reflect the current state of the system. At some stage during further development of the font caching mechanism, this setting was lost as a configuration setting and instead Fop tries to always store the font cache file in the user's home directory. I will work this weekend on reinstating this feature and integrate it into the current font caching system. Cheers, Adrian.
