Hi Hans, I am also working on a similar setup where i need to have my font information consistent from SVG to JPEG. SVG allows SVG Fonts which are nothing but font outlines described using SVG curves and shapes. If you have a true type font (a .ttf file), then you can use batik's ttf2svg font converter which converts a true type font to an SVG font. you could then embed the SVG font and rasterize the SVG to a jpeg.
Another way is to make the .ttf file available to the system(JVM) by placing it in the <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/fonts folder. Then you can be sure that the true type font is available to your SVG and hence the JPEG will look the same. Java (.. and hence batik) supports only true type fonts and hence you can place the .ttf font files in the afore mentioned folder. If you are creating your SVGs in apps like adobe Illustrator, then you might end up using a open type font or a type 1 font which are adobe+microsofts fonts. There are applications available which allow you to convert a open type/ type 1 font into a true type font which you can then place in the system folder and convert SVG to JPG successfully. But you have to make sure that you have the right to convert or embed the fonts ! On Mon, 8 Mar 2004, Hans Stoessel wrote: > Hi > > I'm converting a SVG file to JPEG, PDF and WMF.
