Thanks for the advice.

Usually, I just download the binary release from Apache site .. but I had a go 
and 
installed TortoiseSVN client .. then using TortoiseSVN, downloaded the 
batik-svn ...

I'm none too sure how to proceed from here .. 

i.e. to build batik from this SVN source to compile batik-ttf2svg.jar.

I tried build.bat .. no joy.  Any tips on compiling batik from batik-SVN?

Mathematica1 contains mostly maths symbols and some latin characters (A to Z).

The standard windows font symbol.ttf in c:\windows\fonts\ is very similar to 
Mathematica1 .. and (in the old version of batik-ttf2svg.jar) this renders the 
same 
results.  Blank boxes.  See below.
