As I understand it that is more likely to happen on Windows than on
UNIX (where fonts have names like:
'-monotype-courier new-regular-i---*-%d-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1').
This is why I asked what platform.

Well the SVG specification of course:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/
The Batik Toolkit also includes a converter that will take a
TrueType Font and generate a roughly equivilent SVG Font (hinting is
lost since SVG Fonts don't have that). However, you need to make sure
you are abiding by the license for the font you are converting (which
can be tricky).
See ttf2svg: http://xml.apache.org/batik/ttf2svg.html

Good luck!
