FOP rendering of SVG fonts

["Toulson, Simon" <si...@csfb.com>]

I am attempting to embed an SVG image in an XSL-FO file referenced by a URL to produce a PDF output stream.  I am using Fop 0.20.3 and the supplied batik.jar to dynamically produce the SVG image ( from a KavaChart chart ).  This approach works fine until I try and set a particular font in the SVG image (chart), as the image fonts in the resulting PDF doesn't look that great.  I have configured my userconfig.xml with the
<entry>
  <key>strokeSVGText</key>
  <value>false</value>
</entry>

settings so Fop uses the PDF fonts for SVG.  The image fonts look better, but the spaces between words appear like square blocks []. 

Are there any plans to enhance Fop's font rendering of SVG images, or any alternative workarounds I could try ?

Many Thanks,


Simon Toulson.
