Description

This bug is caused by the SVG fonts are handled in AFP (and in general). There is a disparity between the way normal text, which is rendered into PTOCA, and SVG text, which is rendered to GOCA, is handled. The EBCDIC encoding isn't passed through to the GOCA object (GraphicalCharacterString), the GCS ALWAYS converts text using Cp1146 encoding regardless of what's given in the fop.xconf. I've attached an FO that illustrates the point.

I'm not that familiar with SVG so I may have copy/pasted some superfluous information but the bug is clearly visible if converted to AFP.
