Hi Thomas (and others), Thank you for the hints. There indeed was a font embedded in one of my svg files (from one of my earlier tests and I forgot to remove it). This explains a strange behavior in one of my tests, but the main questions are still the same:
- Even if I uninstall the font, delete the Windows Font Cache (fntcache.dat) the FontFamilyResolver somehow finds the font. Although other tools (editors, svg viewers) cannot load it anymore. - It finds it, but it cannot display my special glyphs - until I switch to Java 6. So I have two questions in mind: Does batik somehow caches fonts (even longer than a system restart... which I somehow don't belive as it is a library) and what is the difference between the usage of font between java 7&batik and java 6&batik. If I load the font normally (not while transcoding a svg with batik) everything works as expected with both java versions.

You can check by seeing if there is a "font" element in the document. Otherwise you might want to take a look at what sources/org/apache/batik/gvt/font/FontFamilyResolver.java is finding installed on the system.

That's what I do: 1. I transcode an SVGDocument to a BufferedImage with a specialization of ImageTranscoder 2. I use a special font in my SVG documents. I customized it and added some special glyphs. So I install my customized font on the computer and run the program. 3. In the transcoded image the new font has not applied. If I load the font in a Swing app or in a texteditor I see the system loaded the customized font. But not in image processed by batik. Somehow it still uses the "old version" of the font, which in my view should not even exist anymore on the computer. This happens when I work with Java 1.7 Update 5. If I uninstall JDK 1.7 and install JDK 1.6 everything works fine. I work on a Win 7 computer. Installing and uninstalling fonts is made over the Windows/Fonts folder (don't know any other way). Anyhone having an Idea what the problem could be? Thank you! Luke
