I'm glad to know I was out of date on that.  Thanks for the heads-up.

From their websites, it looks like Ikivo and Bitflash target proprietary
mobile platforms, which is why I had not heard of Ikivo and was unaware
of how much of SVG Bitflash supports.  I was thinking primarily of Free
Software.

In any case, I would argue that the fact that SVG fonts are getting used
in the mobile sector is an important reason for gecko to support them too.
