Given the amount of information I have I suspect one of two things:
1) Your 3D engine only does masking not alpha. Since by default
everything we draw is anti-aliased your text will have
semi-transparent pixels all around the edges if the 3D engine
converts this alpha channel to a mask some of these blended
pixels will become opaque giving bad results if the background
is something other than black (you don't say what color the
text is in SVG or the background in 3D).
2) You or the JDK is messing up the alpha premultiplied state.
There are a number of bugs in the JDK (1.2, and 1.3 haven't
tested 1.4 yet) where it tries to divide out alpha but doesn't.
This can also cause commonly edge effects.
If it is #1 (which is my bet) you will need to either tell the SVG
content to use 'crisp edges'/'gemetric precision' or tell Batik not to
anti-alias (RenderingHints).
