Hello All,

I am working on some code to process an SVG file.  I have hit a problem =
with some of the test files that I am using (the problem files seem to =
be ones generated from Adobe illustrator). From what I have found so far =
It would seem that Illustrator saves the font information using a =
Postscript Font name (see table below).  The problem I am having is that =
I can not find out how to get from the postscript font name to a font =
name that I can use. Can anyone point me in the right direction?=20

Font used in Illustrator     Resulting font attribute in SVG file
