Hi All,
Just to throw in my 2 cents. Batik "Handles" this through the
@font-face CSS property. This allows you to provide a mapping
from a CSS font-family (with weight etc) to a font file on disk/network
etc:
@font-face { font-family: "CSS Batik SVGFont";
src: url(batikFont.svg#Batik); }
CSS2 is, of course, the basis for XSL-FO font selection. The (partially
realized) Java font selection methodology is similar in approach.

Ok, but this assumes that you work in concert with AWT's font

Well, AWT doesn't provide a way to get the file for a font, but
we can at least get an AWT Font from a TTF file.
And a Type1 file (Java 5). Java just keeps getting better.
This is _very_ interesting. Do you have a reference on this?
Illustrator has a bad habit of embedding CEF (CFF?) fonts in
SVG - these are Type1 font outlines in a TrueType/OpenType wrapper
If the JDK supports Type1 fonts it might support these now as well
(hoping ;).
The 1.5 API for java.awt.Font.
