FOP 1.0 font cache: how long are fonts cached for?

[mike 675 <m_...@yahoo.co.uk>]

The FOP docs say that the fop font cache is on by default.

How long are fonts cached for.
What if I have a setting of <auto-detect/> to detect *all* fonts on my
system.

Then I change my fop config file to just use my own fonts:
<fonts>
<directory>/home/jdoe/temp</directory>
</fonts>

Are the system wide fonts from the <auto-detect/> statement still held in
cache?

Indefinitely. Searching for Fonts is a costly operation so it is only 
done if the cache file doesn't exist.

If you don't want to cache any fonts then why not disable it by setting 
use-cache setting to false as described here:
