Hi Barry, I'm not aware of a way to do this that doesn't involve writing a lot of code. The two main paths would be to write an implementation of Graphics2D that can try and turn GlyphVectors back into text (hard because a GlyphVector may include ligatures where the mapping between text and glyphs isn't 1:1, and the JDK doesn't actually provide the info you need to do the back mapping from GlyphID to code point when it is possible), or to modify the SVG Text rendering so that internally it recognizes simple text and skips the glyph vector and uses a simple drawString.
