There are a number of ways that this can happen. How are you drawing the text?

The default behavior is to try and render text as text. There is a parameter you can pass to the constructor of the SVGGraphics2D that will force it to always convert text to paths. I'm assuming that you haven't set that. > I'd be happy with a CSS-style definition of "sans-serif" and a point size... I think the current versions of the SVGGraphics2D will handle almost all text as text except in cases where advanced features are used like AttributedCharacterIterators with some of the more complex attributes, or all GlyphVectors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
