Not that I am aware of.

dive into this.
Whenever I talk to my collegures or boss about how wonderful FOP is for PDF
publishing, the feedback alway is "PS SVG sucks".
My goal is to make PS SVG rendering a decent one. Three things I wanted to
achieve, display right color stroke, Quadratic Bezier Curve and text
embedding. the first two are relatively easier, I have submitted two patch
#16182 and #16306. So far, colors, curves and text are displayed correctly
but the file size is huge when you have text in your SVG. This is because
the PS renderer actually draws text in SVG. I would like to implement a
strokeSVGText like feature in PDF here.
Thats great.
If any committer has this on his radar, that's a great news to me:-) ( OrThis is an area that would be best tackled with the redesigned code as far as development is concerned. The handling of this issue in the redesign has improved quite a bit (but still has some issues left).
give me a boot )
If you want it sooner then I can give you a few pointers.
The PDF renderer handles this issue in the same way that the PS renderer should handle it. Batik uses a concept of a GVT (graphics vector toolkit) that has a TextPainter that handles text. The default TextPainter is the StrokingTextPainter, when not stroking text it replaces this with a PDFTextPainter. The PDFTextPainter then draws the text using the drawString method instead of creating shapes and drawing them.
So for the PS renderer you will need to register a TextPainter in the same way which should do the same sort of thing as for the PDFRenderer.
