    How are you judging the correctness of the SVG file?  My suspicion
is that the SVG font is specifying the wrong place for the umlauts.
Unless you did some messing around with the SVG this would be
difficult to detect and could easily give this effect.

    Without having access to the umlaut glyphs in the SVG Font I
probably can't help you.  You can email me privately if you don't want
it on the list.

AM> I´m currently using batik 1.5 beta3.

    The fix I made was included in this release, so this is not the
issue.  You didn't say if the umlauts were done as one glyph or two
though.
