Fonts in Batik

["Emden R. Gansner" <er...@research.att.com>]

Where does Batik look for fonts? Is there a way to specify this?
When I run Batik on one machine, with an SVG file containing 
style="font-family:Times-Roman", it displays correctly. On another
machine, no text appears. 

On a related point, are there any values of "font-family" that Batik
is guaranteed to support? Is so, how would I find out?

Thanks.

The font.properties file will let you map names to System fonts. On
Windows, the JVM will give you access to the fonts from the system font 
directory and to fonts in the <jdk-install-dir>/jre/lib/fonts directory.

In addition, any SVG font can be referenced by an SVG document. This
actually guarantees that you will not run into platform differences
and you can see examples in the samples/tests/spec/font directory.

Cheers,
Vincent.

    This is all controlled by the JVM.  There are ways to specify what
fonts the JVM loads (the one I know of is jre/lib/font.properties).  I
suspect there are others but I don't know what they are. Help anyone?

    All the font handling stuff comes from CSS2 so if you look at
15.2.2 in the CSS to specification you can see that there are five
generic families: 'serif', 'sans-serif', 'cursive', 'fantasy', and
'monospace'.
