Jeremais, 

Thanks. It works when running against FOP 0.95-beta(Batik 1.7). I was
running against FOP-0.94(batik 1.6) originally. (I put 0.95 in error in the
original post). Sorry.

I am hijacking the thread a little but I am surprised by the size of the
resulting PDF. Its seems that each font I reference or embed akes up about
300K per page in the resulting PDF file. A 2 page PDF with 2 referenced
fonts generates a 1.1MB PDF, without fonts it is 84K.

Does this seem normal to you? I suspect that because I am using FOP to to
render a number of SVG documents generated by batik and each SVG document
has the same referenced fonts then the PDF transcoder is duplicating the
fonts for each page.

Does this sound correct? It seems regardless of whether I reference or embed
the font in the SVG multiple fonts of the same type are embedded in the PDF.

I am going to see what happens if I specify the fonts in FOP and see if the
file size is reduced.

Failing this we are going to try and remove FOP from the equation and amend
batik to support multiple pages via the nextPage() method.

As always any pointers would be much appreciated. 

Regards
Lea.
