Apache XML Graphics and Java version 8
Greetings,
We have begun to look at using Java version 8 and wondered if there are any known issues with Apache XML Graphics (XML Graphics Commons, FOP, or Batik) either in running with a Java 8 JRE or building with the Java 8 JDK.
I'd appreciate any information about known issues, or pointers on where to look or ask for further information.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rich
The only issue I encountered with Java 7 and 8 is:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7078602
(Java 6 was fine)
It relates to how AWT/Java2D enumerates fonts. For some fonts, if you request the plain font you actually get an italic version of it. It mostly affects Batik and can therefore bleed into FOP due to SVG support.
The recent changes in Batik concerning font management might have alleviated the problem. But I haven't checked because I use an older version in production.
