text in nested groups

["bruno.renner" <br...@itot.de>]

Hi
it seems fop 0.93 doesn't support text in nested g and def structures 
while forming to pdf.
The text is not searchable in pdf. It seems to be graphic. This 
behavior  not depends on font.family.

It's the same behavior on embedded and external SVG.
 any ideas?

P.S.

except to this problem fop 0.93 handles over 500 pages complex svg 
drawing  from CAE without memory problems as they  have been before.
It's great.

Bruno

I see from below you are talking about SVG elements.

I think this is because the PDF Transcoder strokes (or rasterizes) the 
Text in nested elements. Whether Text was rasterized or not used to be a 
  configuration option in older versions of FOP, i.e. 0.20.5 but in 
later versions the Transcoder takes a "best guess" It seems to get it 
wrong for nested g and def tags. Please raise this issue as a bug in 
bugzilla along with a sample FO file so that this issue is not forgotten!
