JL> See http://jibbering.com/2002/8/svg-textlength.svg Thanks for putting together a good test case. Can I borrow parts of it to add to Batik's test suite?

Correct, the first glyphs lead in space wasn't being scaled, it is now. This also revealed a complimentary bug in the visual advance code that caused centered/end anchored text to be slightly off in some cases (I had noticed it the last time I worked on the code, but I couldn't track down the source of the bug - fixing your bug made it 'easy' :). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
