Hi Alexey, I am happy to apply the patch and I have done something equivalent to this as part of the the project to configure Batik to use custom fonts.
Going forward, we hope to allow Batik to directly use Font provided by FOP when converting SVG to Java2D drawing commands. FOP will render text natively with no need to pre-embed the Font into the SVG. As mentioned this is a fairly involved piece of work that may even lead to a new Font library in XML Graphics, see http://markmail.org/thread/hkclkqaxlfh5wwvu.
