Hi folks, I'm currently teaching a course with a lot of international students and a few have complained about not being able to get special characters (as with umlauts and the like) to display well in SVG. I haven't played with the issue much, though we've seen fairly sizable variation in support for various font-families as a function of: operating systems browsers the fonts chosen whether or not the fonts are installed on the system (and how the browsers react when they aren't) even when the font-families are intentionally generic.
Some of the oddities observed in the screen shot comparisons at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html#text from 4-5 years ago, alas, still persist, even with so many more browsers now competing. So my questions: 1. Any generic advice you might have about how best to make non-English and especially Unicode character sets display consistently across browers in SVG? 2. Do you know of any nice essays on the subject, that I could point folks toward? 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!
