Note that I originally had font problems with pdf output.  I queried
the fop mailing lists and got this response which solved my problems:

Make sure that the family name you declare in fop.xconf matches the
name under which the font is known on the system.

Let's take the font "Linux Libertine" an example. Java would know this
font under that name. Since Batik uses the Java font system, it will
also use that name and pass it on to FOP. So you must have a
font-triplet in your fop.xconf that matches that name:

   <font embed-url="libertine.ttf">
     <font-triplet name="Linux Libertine" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
   </font>

If you use something else, FOP will find no match for "LinuxLibertine"
and will fall back to a default font.

You can use the
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames method to
know under which names Java registers the fonts on your system. Of
course, be sure to also use those names in the SVG file.
