Actually, this is a good topic, one that I didn't think about. Please delete the cache file and check if it gets any better. :-) Maybe there's some unwanted side-effect after the update. Maybe we should include a version number somehow so we can trigger an automatic garbage removal if we have improvements in this area. Deleting the cache file is my first suggestion. If that does not already fix the problem: If you want to do something on your side, I'd like to point you to http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/src/java/org/apache/fop/svg/PDFTextPainter.java?view=markup If you set a breakpoint in the findFonts() method you can see what Batik uses internally. The possible mismatch between the O/S, Batik and FOP comes from this: Batik mostly uses Java's font subsystem to work with fonts. If we generate PDF we have to use PDF's infrastructure and the Java2D fonts are not a good source for all the font data we need. That's why we have our own font subsystem. Now, the findFonts() method tries to map the OS/Java font to a font in FOP's font subsystem. If the names and styles match, it works. If they don't, a fallback is used which leads to the problems you describe. It would be helpful if you could identify what's coming from Batik and what FOP's answer is. You can also set the org.apache.fop.fonts logging category to FINE level to see how FOP registers the fonts it finds.
