Hello,

I use batik to convert svg files to pdf files. It would be very helpful to
have the text in the pdf version still as searchable text and not drawn as
shapes by Batik, using the stroking text painter.
In the manual [1] it says "Batik will use normal PDF text [...], if the text
can be drawn normally and the font is supported". I tried with a few svg
files, but the text was always rendered.
Can anybody please give me a hint under which circumstances or font batik
produces regular text in the pdf file?

Cheers
