already.
BTW, I don't know if it 'helps', but since Batik doesn't run headless
(w/o workarounds), IMO it would definitely be better to move each
format's codec into FOP's *Reader implementations. Ideally, it would be
great to ensure FOP's ability to run headless. There's also the desire
by those running AIX 4.1 to be able to maintain Java 1.3 compatibility,
for those machines which can't run in Java 1.4+ (but that's a different
discussion).
