My question isn't actually adobe-specific. I mostly use Firefox, and it's not rendering properly in firefox, ASV, or illustrator. I was wondering if my syntax was wrong. I'll check out the examples. If you have a sample of code you've used that worked for this and it's not too much trouble, I'd also like to take a look at it (unless it's basically the same as the examples). Thanks for the response, I appreciate your time.

Yes, I have used external SVG font definitions many times, but I tend to use Batik to render my SVG ;) There are a number of examples in the samples directory, especially the directory: samples/tests/spec/fonts. In particular, fontExternalFont.svg and fontFace.svg If you have specific question about the Adobe SVG Viewer you might be better off asking on the Yahoo! svg-developers forum. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Hinst [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 11:03 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Font Linking > > Hi, > > I'm having trouble linking external fonts in my SVG document.
