Thomas - very kind of you to answer - thank you - I am happy now -
please see attached for how I solved my problem.
I was very impressed with batik rendering the encoded image
when this is nested in an existing svg file :)
Hopefully when I try to render rotated text this will now be working as well -
my next task.
Thanks for Batik

A combination of j2re1.4.1 and _not_ using my desired java option
of -Djava.awt.headless=true results in standard and encoded raster graphic
svg's successfully rendered to pdf .
Also embedding an encoded grapic as an image node in an existing svg file
renders fine with fop.
fop rocks :)
PS Instead of the headless command option, I just pointed the
(headless) server's DISPLAY option to a machine with a valid display -
suboptimal but it works.
