Thank you Adrian!

Also I've noticed you can redirect the font-cache with the Java system property 
-Duser.home, so one can direct it to a different place by editing the JAVAOPTS 
set in fop.bat.

Subject: Re: Problem with creation of font cache on Windows 7 64 bit

Hi Jonathan,

I have just committed a fix to the missing "cache-file" configuration option 
(see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/configuration.html#general-elements) 
to the Fop trunk code.  All the documentation regarding font caching should now 
reflect the actual implementation.

I also added a convenience "-delete-cache" option to the Fop command line as 
quite a few users have previously asked how to delete/clear this file (when not 
knowing its location on the filesystem).

Hope this helps,

Adrian.

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.

Hi Jonathan,

The font caching was written prior to the Windows 7 release so it was never 
tested at the time.  There is currently no way of telling Fop where to put its 
font cache but it shouldn't be too much effort to add this feature.  I'll look 
at adding support for this.

Adrian.

On Windows XP, fop creates it font-cache in "C:\Documents and

I've had a couple of reports that on Windows 7 64 bit, fop puts its font cache 
in c:\.fop, a directory to which the user may not have write permissions.

Is this a known issue?

Is there a way of telling fop where to put the font cache?
