Thanks for the help. I checked out the source, but unfortunately, I seem
to be having trouble compiling stuff. As a complete newbie to all things
programming, finding out what I'm doing wrong is pretty daunting.
Does the Batik team have a tentative date for a next binary release
(1.6.1 or something like that)? I've looked on the website, but I don't
see anything.
Thanks again to you and all of the batik team for all of your hard work.

Hi Peter,
This should be fixed in SVN now.

Sure, here they are:

The "idealVerSpacing" is one that uses lr-tb to kind of look like what
I'm going for in terms of vertical spacing.
I don't know if MS Gothic has vertical metrics, but I would be
surprised if it didn't. It's a pretty standard Japanese font.
Incidentally, ASV 3.0 renders the tb-rl version correctly.
Thanks again for any help,
Peter

Could you provide a link to the svg as well?
Does the font you are using have vertical metrics?
