Hi Bernd,
   This is a fairly well known issue with the Mac OS X version of Java.  In the past adding a very slight rotation has been an effective work around for this problem.  I suspect some sort of bug in the optimized case of rendering GlyphVectors.

The interesting part is however that the text is there. I can select it and copy/paste it to a text editor. The problem can be reproduced with batik-squiggle. If you run the save application with Java 7 everything works ok. The SVG is generated by plantuml/graphviz.
