Hello, If any body have a knowledge and Processing exemple with `Batik SVG` system with a focus on `Font` i’m very interresting. I try to make a font with Batik to create a cloud points with it like `Geomerative`, but I cannot mange to create font, so i’m locked at the first step of my research.
when I write this sentence the font creat is null
```auto
org.apache.batik.svggen.font.Font font;
String font_path = "/Users/.../.../Automaton Caps Light SSi Light.ttf";
font = org.apache.batik.svggen.font.Font.create(font_path);
println(font);
```

Have your tried it with a ttf font that Batik provides as a demo? Might be ttf features in Automaton Caps Light SSi Light.ttf that it doesn’t like.
Also, I’m assuming that you are using a real path, checked file permits etc., and the font file is valid and works when you test in other contexts…

Nop, I don’t try with the ttf provided for the demo, I try it this after-noon.
