Here's a simple test that all browsers that I have tested fail: http://granite.sru.edu/~ddailey/svg/textPatternRotate.svg
It's the first time I've ever seen Safari for Windows actually do the best job for something SVG-related, and so, is noteworthy for that alone! Here's the code: ------------------------------- <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; width="100%" height="100%"> <defs> <pattern id="Wow" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="51" height="36" > <text x="0" y="35" fill="black" stroke="black" kerning="1" font-size="35" font-family="serif">Wo</text> </pattern> </defs> <circle id="C" r="100" fill="url(#Wow)" cx="100" cy="100" stroke="black" stroke-width="3"/> <use xlink:href="#C" transform="translate(200,0) rotate(45, 100, 100)"/> </svg> --------------- The results: IE+ASV -- does not anti-alias the rotated text-pattern Opera 11.00 -- does not display text within a pattern Firefox 4.0b9-- doesn't respect the kerning (otherwise behaves as it should -- zooming nicely!) Chrome 8 -- stroke and fill of the text do not align (this is true of Chrome whenever text is rotated -- the stroke and fill do not align) Safari -- antialiases the rotated text and kerns properly, but on zoom converts it all to pixels and the image becomes intensely pixellated) I've reported the various problems to Opera and Firefox (though I suspect the Firefox folks have known about the kerning issue for some time). I can't figure out how to report bugs to Safari and Chrome -- it seems like there used to be a way, but perhaps they customized my version so that I can't do it anymore :) I thought it rather a fun example because of its simplicity! cheers David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
