Hi Kölbener,
My guess is that the font is installed in the Java platform
($JAVA_HOME/lib/fonts/). I don't know why Batik picks that one up instead of
the Platform one. One guess would be if they have the same name it's possible
Batik picks the last one (because it builds an internal map of font names to
fonts) but most apps get the first one since they use the normal lookup
mechanisms.
