Re: Text layout with Batik
Hi Cameron ,
I tried to download flowText.svg and resource/style/test.css，
I download above files to local pc and tried to use batik convert to jpg,
It is doing ok, however， why css's font don;t work correctly? I changed
font to , of course I did put that font in D:\Java\jre6\lib\fonts， but
everytime textflow only convert to system default's font such as arial.
Thanks in advance.

Well I think they do...

Well first I'm not sure what you changed font to since it seems to have
gotten lost. Second there is a chance that the font is in a format that
Java
doesn't support (i.e. anything but TrueType?). Third to be honest I'm not
sure how java
adds fonts to it's list of platform fonts (so just adding it to lib/fonts
might
not be enough). I typically point the SVG directly at the font with
something
like (taken from samples/tests/spec/fonts/fontFace.svg):
@font-face { font-family: "CSS Batik TrueType";
src: url(../../resources/ttf/glb12.ttf); }
I hope that helps.
