Greetings All,

I recently posted some issues with SVG fonts to which there were no solutions 
proposed. The SVG backend seems to be full of issues, and somewhat neglected it 
would seem.

When trying to set the font for Dynamics using the SVG backend lilypond fails 
(refer previous posting).

My question now is, does lilypond require SVG versions of fonts or not? There 
is an SVG font set in the lilypond distribution directory, but it seems 
lilypond can use Open Type fonts in SVG output in any case. So if I want a 
custom font, do I need to provide SVG versions, which generally have to be 
manufactured with fontforge? Does the SVGbackedn use a mixture of SVG and Open 
Type font formats?

I believe this is relevant to this thread because perhaps the SVG font 
machinery works in a rather hard to understand way. The NR is not verbose on 
the topic, not that I could see.

Andrew
