Hi,
Rendering text as text is important because the output files get
unreasonably huge and slow otherwise. This is a requirement for my
application, and I can't figure out how to do it with the Apache libraries.
So I gave up on all y'all and found out that this is quite easy in FreeHEP.
UserProperties p = new UserProperties();
p.setProperty(PSGraphics2D.TEXT_AS_SHAPES,false);
VectorGraphics g = new PSGraphics2D(new File("BLAH-freehep.ps"), new
Dimension(layout.getWidth(), layout.getHeight()));
g.setProperties(p);
g.startExport();
g.drawString("Hi there", 50, 50);
g.endExport();
g.dispose();
Also, I tried to export to SVG through Batik (1.7) with SVGGraphics2D, and
when I did a drawString of a string with an apostrophe in it, it didn't
escape the apostrophe and so it produced SVG that Chrome refused to render.
I wonder if there's an XSS vulnerability buried in there, improper
escaping is bad news.
