font weight in embedded SVG images

[Matthew L. Avizinis]

Hello all,  I have noticed an odd behavior when text is rendered in SVG in pdf output with FOP 0.20.5. I didn't see any references to this in the mail archive and am wondering if perhaps I am doing something wrong or missing something. In short, it appears that text in SVG images in pdf output is rendered like bold text when compared to the same text (same font, style, weight, etc) rendered in a normal part of the pdf. Is this my imagination, or is this essentially defective behavior? The same SVG when extracted from the fo document, btw, renders the text as expected when viewed in Batik's Squiggle browser or in the Adobe SVG viewer. Any comments are appreciated in advance. thanks for your consideration, Matthew L.
