The point is that SVG files should not have to depend on other, external files to render. Because most renderers fail to support SVG fonts, typical SVG-outputting software uses what are essentially sprites for each glyph, placing them just like setting text. Cairo and Ghostscript are two examples. Were they able to use SVG fonts — and expect rendering software to support that — then the original text would be available in the SVG, enabling accessibility support at the very least. -JimC _______________________________________________ dev-tech-svg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-svg
