Glad to hear it.

Hmm, I suspect something is wrong in your content as I use
stylesheets all the time and they work fine. Have you tried viewing
the SVG in Batik-Squiggle - the SVG viewier? Does it look right
there?
Do you do anything with @Media?

The font questions should really be answered by Keiron Liddle (who
did most (all?) the work on the PDF transcoder), however I'll tell
you what I know.
I suspect that if you always get 'outline' text (meaning I suppose
stroked chars rather than filled) your problem above with CSS is the
root issue.
TA> 2) they are scaling up larger than they should;
First off I guess I'm not sure what you mean by this. I've never
seen it 'scale' the text. It often looks 'bigger' because (by
default) Acrobat dosn't use AA for line art (although you can turn
this on which makes the PDF appearence _much_ closer to the original
SVG).

I believe that for _very_ simple SVG text it will generate PDF text.
However as soon as you start using any real features from SVG Text
(like tspan) it drops back to outlines. It may also have some
problems with font styles (bold vs Regular ...). Also your first
question makes me think you are somehown messing up the CSS and
telling it to stroke the text, which would _have_ to go to paths
rather than PDF text.
