Solved,
The reason of XXE URI$MalformedURIException was that FOP1 addon is
missing xalan-2.7.0.jar that comes with FOP 0.9x distro. Without Xalan
FOP seems to be unable to handle properly "~/.fop/fop-fonts.cache" and
TTF font reading, therefore it was crashing on existing fop-
fonts.cache done by "complete" FOP 0.9svn.
So I recommend adding Xalan's jar into FOP1 addon, and having:
<fonts>
<auto-detect/>
</fonts>
... somehow set by default for FOP configuration, so anybody can
specify any Windows/Unix installed font with "body.font.family" PDF
parameter. This would ease deploying the PDFs with DocBook.
Cheers,
