When you have installed Xvfb, try starting it up via something like
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :0.0 -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc -fn lucidasans-8 where you have modified the parameters and paths to your liking. Don't forget to set up DISPLAY accordingly depending where you want your X apps to connect to. According to several comments I have read, JDK 1.4 can work headless, so does not require the virtual frame buffer under Linux anymore, but as far as I have tested it, Batik does not produce any visual result under JDK1.4. I am still checking out that one. When you are working more closely with Batik, check out the JPEGEncoderImpl-bug of Sun so you do not run into that one; I sent a test and patch to this list some days ago.
