Hi, I have the same problem as already described here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06053.html It's most defintely due to the fact that /usr/share/... on Debian/Ubuntu is owned by root, but tomcat running as a different user. But there was not final solution mentioned in this previous thread. Also, here are some hints that some varaibales could be set for the fop-library: http://www.nabble.com/FOP-.94-Fonts-td17386501.html So, I could try to set the fop config variable "cache-file" But how and where should I set them? What name and which location should I give the config file with this setting? Thanks in advance, Henning -- Henning Sprang http://www.sprang.de | http://lazyb0y.blogspot.com/
