+ !Thanks

+ I feel I must emphazise that the Batik team provides 99% of the cleverness and hard work that makes this transformation happen. Kudos to them!

- The underlying java code has a javadoc page at [http://heml.mta.ca/heml-cocoon/javadoc/org/heml/image/text/SvgFontEmbedder.html] and can be downloaded with the rest of the Heml project at our CVS server. Some industrious Cocooner might want to extend it into a cocoon transformer, thereby removing the need for the xslt file. I used the xslt because it gives me the power of xpath to pick up the font name from ancestors.

+ !Ideas for Improvements
+ *Some industrious Cocooner might want to extend it into a cocoon transformer, thereby removing the need for the xslt file. I used the xslt because it gives me the power of xpath to pick up the font name from ancestors. 
+ *Furthermore, someone who understands Batik 2DGraphics internal better than I might be able to grab the font defs more elegantly and reliably than by descending through the document tree from getRoot() as my code does.
+ *xpath or other mojo that could pick fontnames off of {{style="font-family: MY_FONT"}} types of declarations (see Caveats #2 above) would add greatly to the universality of this solution.
