[which says, include <entry> <key>strokeSVGText</key> <value>false</value> </entry> in FOP's user config] Thanks, I had seen that, but I had missed that I had to implicitely include the config file when using FOP stand-alone, e.g., ./fop.sh -c conf/userconfig.xml, so originally I didn't pursue this avenue further. Now I get nice looking fonts (and smaller PDF files), but unfortunately, two problems remain. 1. How do I configure this when using FOP with Cocoon2? After all, FOP just comes as a JAR file with Cocoon. I did unjar fop-0.20.3rc.jar, added the 'strokeSVG' entry to conf/userconfig.xml and re-jarred it. However, the change does not take effect. It seems I have to implicitely tell FOP to use userrconfig.xml. How do I do that when FOP is invoked by Cocoon? (Is this perhaps more of a question for the cocoon-users list?) 2. In FOP 0.15.0, I was able to use sth like style="stroke-width:1" to change the "boldness" of a string. However, FOP 0.23.3rc (w/Batik) seems to ignore stroke-width. What attribute should I use now? "font-weight:bold" doesn't do what I want; it does render bold text, but also apparently changes the font from Helvetica to Times Roman. (Adding "font-family:Helvetica" doesn't help.) Again, any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
