This shouldn't be too difficult to setup FOP 0.93. Download [1] a binary
archive; since you're using Java 1.5 you want the jdk1.4 version (which
actually is for Java 1.4 and later). Untar it somewhere, and that's all:
you have a fop script at the root of the archive that you should call to
render XSL-FO to PDF.
If you had configured custom fonts with FOP 0.20.5 you will have to
re-generate the XML metrics [2], as their formats have slightly changed.

Regarding the DocBook toolchain nothing changes, you just have to
replace the call to FOP 0.20.5 with 0.93.

If you have further questions regarding setting up FOP, I suggest you to
ask on the fop-user [3] mailing list. You can also look at the FOP website.

HTH,
Vincent
