Yeah, I think a GUI interface for using the transcoder (and ttf2svg is
reasonable).  If you’d like to contribute, please do!

Sounds a bit platform specific.  If it could be just a shell
script/batch file, that could be ok.

So I do have the webstarted Squiggle on
http://arc.mcc.id.au/batik-nightly/, but I guess you are asking for a
more “official” one.

I’m not sure about the validator idea though, especially if it didn’t
give any more information than just opening the document with Squiggle
would give.  I think a proper SVG validator would be useful, though.
It’d be good if validator.w3.org could do it.
