That is every character that is drawn is converted into a set of curves. The real problem is that the viewer (eg. acrobat) cannot display these curves very well. If you print out the document (on a decent printer) you will see that the text appears how it should. There is a limited implementation that does not draw the text as curves (using normal pdf text instead) but it doesn't handle many things well. just put this in you config file: strokeSVGText false > What am I missing here ? > > Thanks in advance for any advice. > > Roger > - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
font issues with embedded SVG
Hi ! I posted the following question to comp.text.xml, and my first reply advised posted it here, so here goes : --- I am using Apache FOP to produce PDF documents, and I am embeddingvectordiagrams into the document by describing the picture using SVG.Everything looks v.good, apart from the text in the SVG - this lookssort of 'grainy' or there is a problem with the anti-aliasing, orsomething. I'm just starting out with FOP, and my first reaction wasthat I would maybe get better results if I used SVG fonts ... What am I missing here ? Thanks in advance for any advice. Roger
