The font can also be embedded as Base64 stream:
@font-face {
font-family: "droid-sans"; src:
url(data:font/ttf;base64,AAEAAAARAQAABAAQ ... );
}
As it is embebded, there is no need for installing the font on user's computer
or outlining glyph shapes.
That font should be ideally a subset containing just required glyphs (to ensure
the minimum size, can be done in e.g. FontForge), but this could violate the
font license (IANAL).
Btw, Batik parses/translates SVG syntax into Java Graphics2D directives. These
can then be rendered on screen or transformed into other outputs (PNG or PDF).
I am not aware it can outline font shapes directly.
