Hello, let's assume I am using a SVG font to 'draw' the word 'Valliant'. There is some 'hkern' between V and a...so the distance between these two characters should be reduced.
I guess Batik will load the SVG font, read in every single glyph and the hkern map. What I am looking for is the layout code to 'draw' the word 'Valliant' from those glyphs. Basically I am looking for the classes in Batik that determine the position of every glyph so a complete word can be rendered. Maybe somebody has some simple example code from reading in the SVG font, to rendering the word on a Graphics2D context of an image or JComponent or something. I guess I could debug from there to find the layout classes. Cheers, Dieter
