Guru BG commented on BATIK-872:
-------------------------------

Apologies for commenting after a good 7 years. I stumbled upon this issue on 
batik which is something I am facing right now, 

My problem is, batik seems to recognize the font only if the application is 
restarted, if font is added during the application run , its not found by 
batik. 

If font is included in the SVG or XSL file , even if the app is not restarted. 

But I tried to register the font in my program and it is not picked up by the 
batik . 

I know its been far too long for this issue to be revisited , hope folks here 
can suggest something, I am using batik 1.8 . 

> Fonts not found for SVG texts (when not in C:\WINNT\Fonts)

> As posted as a FOP FOP-1614 
> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46371), this is rather a 
> Batik issue:
> Fonts used in SVG images need to be available in C:\WINNT\Fonts (or: OS font 
> system). Due to font license restrictions, some fonts only are allowed to be 
> available for our Java application and not OS wide. Therefore, I copied the 
> TTF fonts in a custom directory which works well with Apache FOP. I tried to 
> set a custom font configuration for the Java application via
> java -Dsun.awt.fontconfig ...
> and this basically works in a test application as I am able to create a Font 
> object with the correct family name and sub name. But Batik seems to ignore 
> this.
