PDF international text

2005-02-16 Thread Bertalan Fodor
Dear Batik users,
I'm trying convert some SVG to PDF that contains international text, 
like Unicode characters #337;
When it is set in a tspan batik creates fine outlines. But when in 
not, it tries to draw them as WinAnsi-encoded Times-Roman, resulting in a #

Is there a way to get the correct character in the PDF, preferably 
automatically embedding Times New Roman, or some other Unicode-capable 
OpenType font? Or is it a PDF-limitation?

Thanks,
Bert

Have a look at the Wiki page I set up a few days ago:
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/SvgNotes/PdfTranscoderTrueTypeEmbedding

There are indeed some limitations concerning PDF support. Your example
could also indicate that we should resurrect the transcoding hint for
stroking text. Might help work-around problems such as these.

I hope that helps.

Yes, that's true. The best would be if I could force Batik to draw text 
as shapes in the batik-rasterizer command line.

Thank you,
