I have a utility method which takes an SVG and uses Apache Batik to rasterize it:

public static BufferedImage rasterize(InputStream svgInput, int width, int height) throws TranscoderException {
    AtomicReference<BufferedImage> results = new AtomicReference<BufferedImage>();
    ImageTranscoder transcoder = new ImageTranscoder() {

        @Override
        public BufferedImage createImage(int width, int height) {
            return new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
        }

        @Override
        public void writeImage(BufferedImage image, TranscoderOutput output) throws TranscoderException {
            results.set(image);
        }
    };

    TranscodingHints hints = new TranscodingHints();
    if (width > 0)
        hints.put(SVGAbstractTranscoder.KEY_WIDTH, (float) width);
    if (height > 0)
        hints.put(SVGAbstractTranscoder.KEY_HEIGHT, (float) height);

    hints.put(XMLAbstractTranscoder.KEY_DOM_IMPLEMENTATION, SVGDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation());
    hints.put(XMLAbstractTranscoder.KEY_DOCUMENT_ELEMENT_NAMESPACE_URI, SVGConstants.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI);
    hints.put(XMLAbstractTranscoder.KEY_DOCUMENT_ELEMENT_NAMESPACE_URI, SVGConstants.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI);
    hints.put(XMLAbstractTranscoder.KEY_DOCUMENT_ELEMENT, SVGConstants.SVG_SVG_TAG);
    hints.put(XMLAbstractTranscoder.KEY_XML_PARSER_VALIDATING, false);
    transcoder.setTranscodingHints(hints);

    transcoder.transcode(new TranscoderInput(svgInput), null);
    return results.get();
}

This is one of the vector graphics that I am using:

<svg xmlns="; fill="currentColor" class="bi bi-clock" viewBox="0 0 16 16">
    <path d="M8 3.5a.5.5 0 0 0-1 0V9a.5.5 0 0 0 .252.434l3.5 2a.5.5 0 0 0 .496-.868L8 8.71z" />
    <path d="M8 16A8 8 0 1 0 8 0a8 8 0 0 0 0 16m7-8A7 7 0 1 1 1 8a7 7 0 0 1 14 0" />
</svg>

As you can see, the fill attribute is set to currentColor. This always results in a black fill. Is there a way to specify a value for currentColor through Batik so the resulting image is not black?
