Subject: Re: Apache XML Graphics and Java version 8

Hi Rich

The only issue I encountered with Java 7 and 8 is:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7078602
(Java 6 was fine)

It relates to how AWT/Java2D enumerates fonts. For some fonts, if you request 
the plain font you actually get an italic version of it. It mostly affects 
Batik and can therefore bleed into FOP due to SVG support.
The recent changes in Batik concerning font management might have alleviated 
the problem. But I haven't checked because I use an older version in production.

HTH
