I think he's got code like this:
Document doc =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
SVGGraphics2D graphics = new SVGGraphics2D(doc);
graphics.setFont(Font.decode("SansSerif-PLAIN-30"));
graphics.drawString("Hello, World!", 100, 100);
// More graphics commands here...
graphics.stream(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out));
Which produces output like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN'
'http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd'>

stroke-dashoffset="0"

Note the <g> element with font-size="30" which should (I think) be
30pt, since the font size in java's Font.decode is always specifed in
points.
Maybe a bug in Batik? I have a feeling this has come up before.
