I can't speak for Cairo-generated SVG files, but PyQt4 doesn't have a problem
displaying glyphs from SVG font files generated by FontForge, for example.
Assuming that file /Users/colin/MyFonts/MagicFont.svg contains a valid <font
id="MagicFont" ...> ... </font> definition then a test file such as the
following should cause "Sample text here" to be displayed using glyphs from
MagicFont:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20001102//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-SVG-20001102/DTD/svg-20001102.dtd";>
<svg width="400px" height="300px" version="1.1"
xmlns = 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
<defs>
<font-face font-family="MagicFont">
<font-face-src>
<font-face-uri
xlink:href="file:///Users/colin/MyFonts/MagicFont.svg#MagicFont"/>
</font-face-src>
</font-face>
</defs>
<text font-size="32" x="20" y="40" style="font-family: MagicFont;">
Sample text here
</text>
</svg>
I used the svgviewer example from the PyQt4 demo to display the sample text.
Hope this helps.
