Hi Helder, Yes, interesting and useful for anyone who wants the best appearance for text with Batik.
However, I have been reliably informed by Dmitri Trembovetski of Sun that the method of placing an opaque rectangle behind the text will not work in achieving sub-pixel antialiasing beyond Java 6 Update 12 for a few complex reasons relating to the off-screen buffer in Batik being a BufferedImage rather than a VolatileImage. The longer term goal is for sub-pixel antialiasing to work on all surfaces, opaque, translucent or other and Java will eventually support this (even without the need for the opaque rectangle) but Dmitri was unable to say when this might be implemented.
