Yes, that's tricky business. You have to use the font name under which
it is provided by the operating system because Batik uses AWT/Java2D for
font handling. If your font is the one I found, then you need to
use "Abduction II" (notice the space). "AbductionII" works because FOP
als registers the font internally using the PostScript name, but the
same is not true in AWT/Java2D.
You can find out the family names of your fonts using the following
code:
GraphicsEnvironment env =
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String[] fontFamilies = env.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
for (int i = 0, c = fontFamilies.length; i < c; i++) {
System.out.println(fontFamilies[i]);
}
In FOP Trunk, there's also a little command-line tool that helps with
problems like this. See:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html#font-list
