I am looking at Batik for the first time and I have done a little bit of experimentation with the "text-rendering" attribute yielding some puzzling results.
I would have thought that the option "optimizeLegibility" would produce the "nicest" text or at least the most readable but it seems that Batik does not use anti-aliasing at all with this option set. However, when I specify the option "geometricPrecision" which I would have thought would result in plainer text, I do see anti-aliasing and the text is much more readable (although still not as readable or as clear as I would like it to be on an LCD screen). Is this is the intended behaviour or am I misreading this whole issue? I am using Java 6 Update 10 on Windows Vista. Thanks, -JCT
