I'm trying to print some rotated text in a document, and in the absence of 'reference-orientation' am trying to use
in-line SVG.

Problem is the characters come out  v e r y  w i d e l y  spaced.  The code renders 'correctly' if I try it directly in Batik.

<!-- Column 2  -->
<!-- This will be the rotated page center for mailing address  -->
<fo:block break-before="column">
 <fo:instream-foreign-object width="90mm" height="190mm">
   <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="90mm" height="190mm" viewBox="0 0 360 760">
     <svg:g transform="rotate(-90, 213, 600)">
       <svg:text x="213" y="600" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:9">Mr Zmaryalay Razaqi</svg:text>
       <svg:text x="213" y="612" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:9">8/7 Coombs Ave</svg:text>
       <svg:text x="213" y="624" style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:9">OAKLIEGH SOUTH VIC 3167</svg:text>
     </svg:g>
   </svg:svg>
 </fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>

I have tried various fonts, but they all seem to have the same effect.
