I don't think there is a lot to be done in this case. From your
description of the Euro symbol
problem, it sounds like the PDF contains embedded fonts. If the SVG
doesn't contain a similar
set of embedded fonts it can't possibly correctly reproduce the PDF file.
Setting 'svgFont' to
tells the SVGGraphics2D that it can't simply use the font-name, it needs
to extract the used
characters from the font and put them in an SVG Font embedded in the
output document
(similar to the embedded font in the PDF document).
It might be possible to only SVG Fontify some of the fonts used by the
PDF file but I don't know
how the SVGGraphics2D could possibly differentiate between the fonts that
needed to be
embedded and those that didn't.
I think you simply need to accept the larger file size.
