I know this seems a trivial enquiry, but I searched for a while trying to find an answer with no success. How does Batik find the fonts it uses? I have a .ttf file for a font I want to use, but I can't work out how to write the SVG and configure Batik so that the font gets used.
Use the 'font-face' element with an appropriate font-face-src:
<font-face font-family="SVG Batik TrueType"> <font-face-src> <font-face-uri xlink:href="../../resources/ttf/glb12.ttf"/> </font-face-src> </font-face>
You can also use @font-face.
I don't want to drop the font in system controlled directories; I'd rather add another directory to the font path. I don't want to embed the font in the SVG file if I can avoid it; I'm calling the rasteriser myself.
I've tried a few obvious things like putting the .ttf file in the current directory with no joy.
I'm running Debian "Sarge" GNU/Linux, and the Sun 1.4.2_01 J2SDK. I've run a few tests with the binary distribution of Batik 1.5.1.
Thanks in advance,
