Fonts use in SVGGraphics2D

[Hervé Girod]

Hello !   I'm currently using Batik to convert some vector graphic images in a proprietary format in SVG images. This format also defines vector Fonts in a specific way.   In order to convert the proprietary data, i parse the file to produce a Java drawing in a SVGGraphics2D graphics. All is working fine, but I have a problem with my Fonts. There is no SVG Font deriving from the Java Font class, so I'm not able to render correctly the Fonts without specific XML manipulations in the file.   My question is : do I have to subclass the SVGGraphics2D class in order to be able to set and get SVGFonts, and code the specific rendering of these font or is it better (and possible) to derive a new type of Font form the AWT Font class, that is for example AWTSVGFont, and use it like any other AWT Font ? or is there an alternative better solution ? Thanks !
