Yes, I expected this and I felt esp. bad to notice that my beloved
picture viewer doesn't have this feature :-( But to make you happy
again: IE5.x (and 6b1) fails completely with p:first-letter (CSS) *g* It
produces so serious problems that I had to fall back into XSLT to create
this effect.

Currently I distribute my two patches (this one and the white edges
problem) as class files with my program -- is this ok or should I use
the CVS version? Will there be an 1.1 or 1.0.1 release in the next time?
Is there a list/place to stay up to date with Batik problems without too
much work? Bugzilla is quite complex and noisy, an announcement list
would be cool ;-)
While trying to use Bugzilla I found this:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1559
It seems someone has a different opinion on how to handle PNGs --
exactly the problem I feared to cause :-( Can you check this and add a
comment? Maybe I really should open an account :-(
Thanks,
