Hi Hervé,
Well it would probably be best to do this. If you look there
is a class 'batik.svggen.SVGFont' Which is actually a 'font converter'
that converts a font to SVG. So you could create a subclass of Font
and then subclass SVGFont to recognise your special font and generate
the SVGFont definition (this would avoid the need to implement the
complete Font interface for the proprietary font).
