That doesn't seem to be a complaint about Batik not matching Adobe's
anti-aliasing algorithm so much as a complaint that Batik's algorithm is
poor. Mozilla (for instance) gets similar complaints about its line
breaking algorithm ("you don't break this very long word at the hyphen!")
but that doesn't mean the line breaking algorithm needs to be specified.
Indeed, it merely makes it an area that renderers can compete in.
