More text rendering issues
With Batik 1.7 it seems that the textRendering property is not always
honoured by the SVG. Sometimes the rendering of the text appears to
completely ignore this directive.
Why is it that this property is only honoured sometimes and what's the trick
to getting it to be honoured all the time?
Thanks,

How embarrassing.
Sorry for the noise.

Well, it helps if you use the correct attribute/property name:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#TextRenderingProperty
It's 'text-rendering' not 'textRendering'.

OK I have attached a simple example. Experiment with the textRendering
property and see that there is absolutely no change to the way the text is
rendered.

Sometimes? Seems a potential issue to me (whether in your code or
within the framework). Can you attach a reduce test case [1] (SVG file
and/or Java source code, attached and note pasted if possible) and
provide additional information [2] (how to reproduce the "works" and
"doesn't work" symptoms, for example) so one can provide better
feedback?

Can you give an example. I think it should always be honored.
There is some overlap in the hints set for text-rendering and
shape-rendering which might cause some trouble depending on how
they are set.
