It' s a difficult issue, because it looks like a batic bug. I lower the priority of this request.

I still have this problem with 0.9.0b15, WinXP, 100% zooming, Java 1.5.0_06-b05
I need to distribute Mindmaps in PDF format and this truncation is very annoying.
Increased prio again.

I have tested the attached map using the batik version shipped with freemind (1.5.1) and the last batik version (1.7 beta3). All of them show the same buggy behavior. And as I think it is a batik issue I can not take any care of it.
You could do the following things:
1. Use export to SVG. It is much better than PDF. And SVG is an intermediate step for producing PDF with Batik.
2. Reproduce the error which comes during conversion of svg to pdf and report it to Batik developers.

Export mind map for documentation
I’m working with the version 0.9.0 Beta 15 and at the beginning I have to say this peace of software beats any other thing I’ve ever seen by far.
It’s easy but powerful and it’s simple but…
… I need to save the output of freemind for documentation purpose. That for the file type png ore pdf would be great. They are both supported but with small lacks each.
The quality for png files is quite low. It should be adjustable for different purpose as web, preprint and fine print ore something like that.
While exporting a mind map as pdf the last letters of the nodes are truncated and some l letters seem to be bold. The boundaries on the right side of the text lines offers often to less space. This problem occurs also with node type bubble. It looks like a rounding problem.
I tried it out on a win XP pro on two different machines with the newest JRE 1_6 and JRE 1_5_14 and JRE 1_4_2_15 on only one machine.
Sorry if it was the wrong place to paste this information.
For further information contact me in English ore German.
Thanks anyway for that great thing.

Hello f_spangenberg,
I can not reproduce the wrong behavior on my computer (beta18, the same java version, Windows 2000). I noticed that svg file you have included in MindMap_with_truncated_nodes_090b18.zip contains hints text-rendering="geometricPrecision" and if I remove all of them using text editor, the truncation does not happen. But I have no idea where those hints come from by you as I do not set in in the freemind code and I do not get it created doing the export my self.

Same result on 2 different Windows XP SP3 installs (VirtualBox, notebook), that never had Freemind installed. :-(

Windows 2000: same problem
Mac OS X: no problem (see http://www.file-upload.net/en/download-990241/MindMap_no_truncated_nodes_MacOSX.zip.html\)
It looks like a font (size) related issue. All sample MindMaps are formatted with “automatic layout”, that means by default: font size 16 for level 2. If you look at the truncated nodes, they are all at level 2 with font size 16. Default font is “SansSerif” = Arial on Windows. I tried some different fonts/sizes and there were no truncated nodes, except with “Arial” and “Times New Roman” at size: <= 8, 16, 20, 24.
So maybe batik uses some built in rendering methods for standard fonts like Arial or Times and they don't match to the real fonts?

I reserved a bit more space for text to prevent truncating.

Dimitry, I'm sorry, but it's just working for Arial (SansSerif),
there are still truncated nodes with Times New Roman (Serif).
