Ok, so I tackled Batik and have an SRPM that builds now. This basically
boiled down to removing JPEG and TIFF image handling, but - in theory -
PNG support should work. The changes weren't nearly as bad as I first
thought. Other than removing classes from the build, I only had to add
two patches.
But now we're stuck on GNU Classpath/libgcj not implementing some core
AWT functionality in java.awt.BasicStroke.
There was already a bug filed for this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22938
gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GdkTextLayout.getCharacterLevel(int) is also a
problem.
Hopefully somebody (fitzsim?) can comment on the status of these
classes.
Yeah, there are two large chunks of work still to do in the GTK peers;
port GdkGraphics2D to Cairo 1.0 and implement java.awt.font using Pango
and Freetype. I'm hoping to finish the first task before FC5, but the
second one will likely have to wait.

This goal of rendering Fedora docs on a free stack is beginning to look
like an FC6 goal.
