   You might consider using font-face (or CSS @font-face) to
reference the font file directly.  This could avoid the 'what is it 
called'
issue (it also means the font doesn't need to be installed on the system).
You can take a look at 'samples/tests/spec/fonts/fontFace.svg'.

   Batik uses the following code to discover the fonts installed on the
system, you could make a small program and run it to find out what the
font is called by Java.

        import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment;


        GraphicsEnvironment env;
        env = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        String[] fontNames = env.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
