Hi Thomas,
Thank you very much for your reply! That does explain why the fonts are not
getting embedded properly. I think I may have a bigger underlying problem in
that I can verify that even when I embed the fonts in the svg file e.g.:
----------------
...
<defs id="genericDefs"
/><g
><defs id="defs1"
><font-face ascent="100.53711" descent="21.972656" units-per-em="100"
style="font-style:normal; font-family:AnnabelleJF; font-weight:normal;"
...
----------------
that the text does still not show up properly when I just view the SVG file.
I'm going to keep digging down on it and if you have any suggestions please
let me know.
When I have some results I'll post them here.

Yes, it is expected, it probably isn't desired but it's expected.
I suppose ideally FOP would automatically notify Batik about the fonts
in that directory, so that Batik would consider them as candidates for
rendering text.

The problem is that Batik doesn't know about any of the fonts
in the FOP font directory. So when it does font matching it ends up
replacing the desired font with one it can find (that is installed
on the system). You could also notify Batik of the font either through
CSS (@font-face) or SVG (<font-face/> element) - see
samples/tests/spec/font/fontFace.svg for an example of using them.
