I too am having this problem on Mac OS X while Linux and Win2000 are working
great. The Batik browser also dumps a ton of code to the console when the
image is rendering. I took a look at Apple's Release notes on MRJ 3.0 for OS
X and it states the following:


Compatibility issues to note:

*    Drawing shapes over each other when anti-aliasing is on may cause
different results than in Java 1.1. For instance, drawing a white line on
top of a black line will not completely erase the line; the compositing
rules leave some gray pixels around the edges. (The JDK "Clock" applet
exhibits this glitch.) Also, drawing text multiple times in the same place
will cause the partially-covered pixels along the edges to get darker and
darker, making the text look smudged.
*    Java on Mac OS X will never have pixel for pixel match with the Sun
Java2D implementation, especially when anti-aliasing is on (see the GUI
Customization section below for information on how to disable anti-aliasing
for ) . Quartz's anti-aliasing algorithms for both line art and text are
different than Sun's default implementations, so the rendered pixels will
not match exactly. Apple is using the Quartz graphics system because it
improves drawing quality over other platforms' Java2D implementations.


Known bugs:

*    There are a few situations in which JPEG images won't be read properly.
*    Using a Shape object for drawing perfectly horizontal or vertical lines
(rather than calling drawLine()) will hit a serious bug that hangs the Java
process, and may even require a reboot. The workaround is to use drawLine()
in these cases, which is the more common approach.

The full release notes can be found here:

I'm still new Java2D so I'm not profess that I now this is the bug. But form
what I've read, this sounds like it may be a problem with Apples Java2D
implementation. Could this be correct? This could be a HUGE problem for
Apple if this is the case.
