Hi Jonathan, The reason the text is blowing up is because the default Font size in Batik is 9pt. So the font size is multiplied by the pixels/pt. Also note that your top level SVG elements are defined in pixels rather than in real world units so the -dpi 600 doesn't actually make your output images any better. You might consider either moving to real world units for the root SVG element or use the -width option to produce a larger output image rather than -dpi.
You can fix the font-size issue by adding font-size="9".
