[xep-support] problem with Batik SVG's that use small fonts

Hello Konrad,

The problem is caused by 'stroke-miterlimit:0;' value in the 'style'
attribute.
Let me site the SVG specification:
SVGSpec> The value of <miterlimit> must be a number greater than or equal to
1.
SVGSpec> Any other value is an error.

So, your SVG files are invalid according to SVG specification.

Set the value of 'stroke-miterlimit' to 10 (or any other valid value)
and the resulting PDFs will be displayed correctly by Acrobat.

With best regards,
  Alexei Gagarinov
