Based on your description, the likely cause is that Batik can't find a local
graphical environment in which to run on the Solaris box. If Solaris has a
GUI, try running it under that (I am more familiar with Linux which has a
graphical console that can be used for such things). Also, here is some code
that can be used to check *before* running a task requiring a graphical
environment:
/**
* Determines whether this environment can support graphical functions
that
* are required for system fonts, Batik (SVG processing), and other
* AWT-dependent systems. The result returned here is somewhat different
* from that returned by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment#isHeadless()}.
* Some environments that are not headless, i.e. that support a mouse,
* keyboard, and display, are nevertheless not graphical. A Unix/Linux
* terminal is a good example.
* @return True iff a local graphical environment can be created.

public static boolean isGraphicalEnvironment() {
GraphicsEnvironment ge = null;
try {
ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
} catch (LinkageError e) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
